Dear friends, Some of you may recall that I was requested by the Government of India to put together a bio of my father for their event of the 75th anniversary of India's independence. It took me two years to complete the project. I sent the manuscript last June. It was reviewed by their literary panel and was formally moved for publication early this month. The book is in my native language Odia and it will be translated to major Indian languages including English. The publication date is likely 2023 summer. Ther book is the story of a brilliant young man who left college to join the India's freedom struggle and eventually made himself into a progressive poet of the masses. His political troubles in the '70s with the Government were among the causes prompting me to leave India for the US. Through this note, I thank my neighbors and the townspeople for their sympathy and support in this project. Writing about my father, I did come across episodes of freedom of expression here in Lincoln Talk and did learn facets of human sentiment from many debates in this Forum. I wish to thank Lincoln Talk and many readers who communicate with me on topics of interest. Best regards, Bijoy Misra
