Collage had earlier introduced Ramesh Warrier as a budding poet and sought 'Likes' for his recitation of a poem, in the context of a contest. His father, CSV Warrier and I had fought association elections in AG's Office, Thiruvanantapuram during 1967. Our team won all seats in that election. CSV became President of the Association which position he retained for some years. I was a member in his Committee, but left AG's Office to join RBI in 1968- Warrier) 2) Vishnu Kelkar " Can India be allowed to fail ? I liked what Dhritiman Biswas, a professional of Indian origin said in London in his introductory remarks on 'India - is it a gigantic success or a colossal failure ?' the topic at round table debate. 'Outside OECD and Western Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP) world, one more example of liberal, free market democracy is India. India is a concept devised by the British and therefore in many ways a contradiction, a process, a work in progress.' He has substantiated his point by giving many examples and changed the question of the debate. Incidentally, OECD is a forum of 37 countries describing themselves as committed to democracy and market economy. They are high income economies with high human development index and regarded as developed countries. WASP is a term used for upper class White American Protestants usually of British descent. Anglo Saxon referred to the language of indegenous inhabitants of England before 1066. Thanks for the whatsapp forward shared through collage." 3) M G Warrier Yogavasishta on life elsewhere https://youtu.be/RKYSJ7Gckgw
