    We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Manohar Prasad's passing. Three decades ago, we invited him to St. Aloysius College as a guest speaker for an event for our wall magazine. We, the students, were thoroughly impressed by his humility, straightforwardness, and unbiased views. His oratory skills and clarity of thought were truly remarkable. Manohar Prasad had an amazing personality, and he will be greatly missed. May his soul find eternal rest.
