Raja Rao died (8-7-2006)

Indian-American novelist and metaphysician (born Mysore 1908)
In _Kanthapura_ (1938) he writes:
"...English is not really an alien language to us. It is the language of our intellectual make-up, like Sanskrit or Persian was before, but not of our emotional make-up....We cannot write like the English. We should not...Our method of expression therefore has to be a dialect which will some day prove to be as distinctive and colorful as the Irish or the American."
A vision of a literary Indian English.
