Colleagues,

 

Forgive me if this e-mail reiterates information already provided in previous communications. As of late my RISA mailbox has been down.

 

I was very sad to learn last night from Sthaneshwar Timalsina, a Nepali Sanskritist currently at UC Santa Barbara, that over the weekend Maoist rebels in Nepal reduced to ashes much of Mahendra Sanskrit University's main campus. Dr. Timalsina estimates that the damage is irreparable.

 

This is a great loss, not just for Nepal, but for the international community of Indologists. Dr. Timalsina and I request that we all do whatever we can to bring the violence in Nepal to an end.

 

thank you,
