1.GUP My first editor, Rukun Advani, once described himself as ‘a composite hybrid of the Indian and the Anglo-European’, who sought to reconcile ‘within himself those varying cultural influences which chauvinistic nationalists could only see as contradictions.’ This self-characterization I might avow as my own. One mark of the Anglo-European in me is that, unlike members of the Swadeshi Jagran Manch, I had not just uncles and aunts, parents and grandparents, but also a godfather. It is this person I wish to write about here, in part because the centenary of his birth falls this week, in great part because being my godfather was the very least of his distinctions. Born on the 6th of October 1923, K. T. Achaya was the son of an accomplished sericulturist, who managed a silk farm run by the Government of India in Kollegal. The ‘K’ stood for Konganda, though he was always known by his middle name, Thammu. He was one of my father’s oldest friends—which is how I became his godson. They first met as students at Presidency College in Madras, where both studied Chemistry. They carried on to the Indian Institute of Science for their M. Sc, spending their off-lab hours cycling through the Mysore countryside. My father then stayed on in Bangalore for his Ph D, while Thammu Achaya took his doctorate in Liverpool. After his return to India the two scientists resumed contact, and they remained continually in touch till Thammu’s death in 2002. Thammu Achaya was a food scientist, an expert on oilseeds. While they shared a background in science and happy college memories, my father and he had very different personalities. Thammu was a lifelong bachelor; my father had a gloriously happy marriage which lasted sixty years. My father did all his post-doctoral research in one place, the Forest Research Institute in Dehradun; whereas Thammu, after coming back from Liverpool, held scientific jobs in Hyderabad, Bomba Speech Signal Processing, Speech and Speaker Recognition (Voice Biometrics), Development of Countermeasures for Spoofing Attacks on Automatic Speaker Verification, Voice Conversion State in western India This article is about the state in India.
