The old order changeth, yielding place to new, And God fulfils Himself in many ways… — Lord Tennyson Lest one good Constitution should corrupt India! — With apologies to Lord Tennyson There was a scholarly talk at city’s Mysore Open Forum (MOF) which is like Arcadia in Athens during the time of Socrates.
