Karnataka - Bangalore   

Book released

Special Correspondent

BANGALORE: All agreed it was an "extraordinary book written by an extraordinary man". The gathering was mostly of former senior civil servants, and the author had been one of them.

Releasing the book, Last Frontiers of the Mind: Challenges of the Mind, written by late A. Mohandas Moses on Friday, former diplomat Allan Nazareth said, " His mind had no frontiers and his ideas were far ahead of his time." Another former diplomat C.V. Ranganathan recalled Mr. Moses as a man whose thinking went beyond the prosaic limits of bureaucracy.

Mr. Ranganathan spoke about Mr. Moses' stint in Jaffna at the height of the civil war there and how he was among the few who made an early distinction between Jaffna Tamils and Tamils descended from the migrant Tamil labour. Former Director of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research B.V. Srikanthan said the mind behind the book went far beyond his work and profession.
