About this recording

Title as given by the source
We read Kshtimohan’s 1955 letter to Bake. He must have dictated it to someone, because this was not his handwriting, Shibda says. We discuss that time, how ill he was, and laugh about spelling mistakes in the letter. He was 75 then, that was very old in those days. But now Amartyada is already 83, Shibda says about his cousin, the other grandson of Kshitimohan, Nobel Laureate economist Amartya Sen.
