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 , 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 the

Translating Tibet in the Borderlands: Networks, Dictionaries, and Knowledge Production in Himalayan Hill Stations
Emma Martin, University of Manchester
Borderland texts
No country in the world has exercised a more potent influence on the imagination of men or presented such fascinating problems for solution to the explorer as Tibet; and this influence has been active amongst all the generations which have exploited the byways of the earth from the days of Herodotus to those of Younghusband.
— Thomas Holdich[1]
