Dear colleagues,
I too agree that the Murty Classical Library of India is a valuable book
series and its discontinuation would be a loss to Indology. I would be
happy to sign a letter to that effect.
I would in no circumstances sign a letter censuring someone without
having heard the accused person's side of the story. It is a fundamental
principle of law: `audi alteram partem' (`let the other side be heard').
Cordially yours,
Brendan Gillon

This is a stain on Professor Parimal Patil and on Harvard University.
I do hope the Provost of Harvard will set the matter right.

This is deeply disturbing although, alas, hardly surprising. It
reflects, no doubt ,political interference with this groundbreaking
and outstanding scholarly series. List members should add their
voices to those of the former members of the editorial board.
