It made me think of many other Indians who earned international acclaim as writers in English. In fact, very few people are aware of one Indian who not only launched the biggest library movement in England in the 1930s, but also co-founded two reputed publishing firms: ‘Penguin Books’ and the ‘Pelicans’ (non-fiction).

In case, your readers would like to read about him, here is the link:

I was commended by our guest, Lord Wavell, and our Spanish master always, always said “No” to me when he passed me in the corridor. I was coached a lot by my english teacher but it was me who took the credit. Not fair really. I have been searching it for years but only the magic of google has found it for me.
