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
