---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2005 08:42:40 +0530 From: Nagarajan K S <ngrjn(a)vsnl.com> To: jobish_p(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: Demise of Dr T.B.Rajasekhar Extremely sad to learn about the gruesome accident that prematurely extinguished the life of Dr Rajasekhar. It was Prof. Neelameghan (formerly of the Division of BDA, UNESCO and former Head of the DRTC, Bangalore) who first gave me the sad news by phone in the morning of Sat.4th June; later Dr Christina Louis of the IAP called from the RRI around 2 pm on the same subject. I had a visitor from Boston for the better part of the day (an NRI, and a long-time family friend), who was leaving for Madras by the evg. Shatabdi enroute USA. Nevertheless I took some flowers and reached the residence of Rajasekhar a little after 3 pm, only to find that he body had been taken away for the crematorium. I left the flowers with some children in the house, being taken care of by a lady next doormentioning my name to that lady. I am so sad that a dynamic young professional who had achieved much and who had so much more to give of his leadership to his colleagues & dedication to the profession has passed away. May his soul rest in peace. Nagarajan (Retd. / former Head, Regional Centre, INSDOC, IISc Campus,Bangalore) Res. Phone: 2334 0922

Dear All It is not only shocking but also unfortunate that our profession has lost a bright and nice professional like Rajashekar. He had made meaningful contribution to the library profession through his teaching and training initiatives. On the forefront of Digital Library movement in India, Dr. Rajashekar was the bastion of new generation librarianship in the country. For young professionals he was not only inspiring but also a guide to many. May his soul rest in peace and may god give the necesssary courage to the bereaved family members. Our condolences to NCSI community also. H Anil Kumar and Staff Nirma University Ahmedabad H.

Dear Rakesh and Friends: Congrats on your work to promote Free Software. I have a suggestion. You may also promote open access to scientific and scholarly journal literature. For a clear idea of open access and its tremendous benefits, please look up "Open Access News" the daily blog of Prof. Peter Suber. Or, if you live in Bangalore, visit NCSI at IISc and talk to Mr Francis Jayakanth. If you live in New Delhi, visit NIC and meet Mr Sukhdev Singh or Dr Naina Panditha. They are running 'OpenMED' an open access archive for biomedical literature. If you are in Bombay, you may talk to Dr D K Sahu of MedKnow Publications. Thanks and best wishes.

Dr. TBR - Heartfelt condolences from TCS
by bp.prakash＠tcs.com 06 Jun '05

This is really shocking and un bearable loss to our fraternity. Dr Rajshekar was instrumental in very many initiatives, be it academics, research or the industry. I still remember the starting days of NCSI (1983) with Dr Raj, Harish, tulsi, Kapaleaswaran, Seena & others . Both NCSI and Dr Rajshekar grew to great heights, complimenting each other's strengths & success. It will certainly create a void and wd take a long time to come to terms.

Sad demise of Dr.T.B.Rajashekar - Lose of An Inspiration
by Sukhdev Singh 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

I am greatly pained to hear the sad demise of Dr.T.B.Rajashekar. It was difficult to believe as only few days back he replied to my personal email commenting on OpenMED [ http://openmed.nic.in ]. Dr. Rajashekar was the key inspiration to me for OpenMED. He was one of the great professional we had in our times. His contribution to the profession and his inspiration to many young professionals, especially for initiating the Open Access Movement in India, will be remembered for ages. My heart felt condolences for bereaved family and pray almighty for his soul to rest in peace. --Sukhdev Singh, Principal Systems Analyst, Bibliographic Informatics Division, National Informatics Centre, New Delhi

It is very difficult to believe that Dr. T.B. Rajashekar is no more. He was such a nice personality, dynamic person and pioneer in the field of Library and Informatin Science. I was one of his students as NCSI trainee during 1991-92 batch. I have known him very closely and have a great respect for him. May his soul rests in peace. Md.

Dr T B Rajashekar
by Prafulla Chandra 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Dear All, I vaguely remember having a glimpse of Dr T B Rajashekar during the Caliber meet held at the University of Madras. Although I didn't have any opportunity to meet him personally or to talk to him, I could form a mental picture of the type of person he was through his rare but measured, sensitive and considerate postings to the LIS- Forum, which he moderated so successfully with tremendous impact. For some inexplicable reasons, over the years my heart was filled with admiration, affection and high respect for this humane personality who provided inspiring leadership to many a LIS professional like me. During my earlier years, I used to copy and paste some messages to LIS-Forum. This used to create problems. Dr Rajashekar sent a detailed reply on the proper procedure to be followed while posting messages. I repeated the same mistakes a couple of times. Even then, he didn't spike even a single message of mine. He used to send a personal message, marked with utmost politeness and considerateness. It is very rare to find such finest human qualities these days. When I first learnt about this shocking news on Saturday, it was a numbing experience. I felt as if we have lost one of our family members. The news is particularly more painful in the light of the fact that our National Knowledge Commission has just been constituted. Dr Rajashekar would be made significant contribution to its activities had he been alive. I express my heartfelt condolensces to the members of the bereaved family. T.V.
