.............A characteristic of Mujumdar’s approach to life was to help those in difficulty, even if they did not seek his help. His writings were centred on compassion for the downtrodden and that is what he practised in life. He believed in a Socratic tradition of free and frank exchange of views even if they revealed sharp differences and he believed that this was essential to progress. On a personal note, I was, over the years, the recipient of sharp criticism from Mujumdar of my work, but at the same time I have been a major beneficiary of his unstinted support in my career. I had never imagined that the loss of a sparring partner would hurt that much.
