It would have been a privilege for me to preside over the function in honour of “Ramakoti.” I would have been in a small way discharging a debt of gratitude. Few of you probably know that it was “Ramakoti” that discovered me; later came Jawaharlal Nehru and others. If I have achieved anything in journalism, it was because of “Ramakoti’s” example of strength of character and uncompromising loyalty to standards. His sacrifices in the cause of the true values of life and journalism are well-known; not so well-known probably are the qualities of heart and mind which have made him a great editor. He has a heart of gold; he is most cultured among us; and his mind is not only a rich and catholic mind but of tempered steel. I do not know what exactly in him you are celebrating and what exactly is the occasion, but whatever it is, I am glad you are honouring him on the occasion of the meeting of journalists’ from all over India. I hope the function will mean a renewal of strength for “Triveni”, which has been a true embodiment of the best in Indian Renaissance, and will help it to become a journal known even more widely than at present.
I should be grateful to you, if you could convey to “Ramakoti” my heartiest greetings, my deepest gratitude and my fondest love and remembrance.
