Summary

This section memorialises two scholars. The first obituary honours Karl J. Khandalavala, an eminent lawyer, art connoisseur and collector who served as president of the Prince of Wales Museum, Bombay. It recounts his studies of Pahari painting, editing of art journals, promotion of Indian handicrafts and awards from Indian and international bodies. Khandalavala is remembered as a cultured, generous gentleman. The second obituary commemorates Johri Māl Pārīkh, a Jain scholar and philanthropist who supported Jain education and libraries. He founded the Johri Māl Smārak in Jodhpur and established scholarships for students of Jain philosophy. Both obituaries highlight the dedication, scholarship and personal virtues of the deceased and acknowledge the loss to the academic community.
