In the passing away of Shri Nair RBI has lost one of its most illustrious officers. I had the privilege of working under him when he was Calcutta Manager. He had the courage of conviction to stand against any unjust or arbitrary decision of Central Office. When I was transferred from Calcutta, he defied the order and retained me. Again, when Class IV staff went on agitation all over India, managers vied with each other in suspending or dismissing the agitators. Only Mr. Nair stood firm saying that if he suspends or dismisses anybody, he should stay so and not reinstated at the drop of a hat. The managers, especially Kanpur Manager, had to eat humble pie when all those who were suspended or dismissed were unconditionally reinstated. Mr. Nair was known for his great sense of humour. Even in gravest of situation his sense of humour prevailed. He was an accomplished orator full of wit and humour. And above all he was the most vehement critic of the bank's personnel policies.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
