- TO WHOM IT CONCERNS:
- I am not sure if my earlier reply was received. File KDB-Letter.jpg shoul not be deleted. I am the owner of the referenced letter. I had recovered this faded letter from my maternal grandmother's antique wooden trunk in 1960s. Khageswar Datta-Baruah was my grandmother's oldest son-in-law. I suppose after Khageswar's family committed suicide (out of abject poverty), my maternal grandparents retrieved whatever belonged to Khageswar and his family. Please note that as the letter states, Khageswar was an orphan. My gandmother saved everything in her antique wooden truck including all his books (every book had his signature, I suppose Khageswar was a voracious reader - English literature of Shelly, Byron, Keats, Tolstoy, Victor hugo's Les Miserables, Irving Stone's Lust for Life, and many more). Many books were destroyed by termites. Fortunately, this letter was found intact in the middle of a book. The letter was just a personal letter asking for financial assistance by a poor 9th grade student in 1929 and not copyrighted. As such only I have the copy. This letter is also referenced in two recently published books (please see below).
- Just to clarify, Khageswar happens to be my biological father, although I do not consider him my father as they had nothing to do with my growing up. I respect and admire his intellectual ability and his yearning for scientific truth. He is a forgotten scientist of the time from a remote corner on earth. As for me, I survived the passage of death as my biological family had committed suicide (around the time of India's independence) by jumping in the Brahamputra river from a small canoe after drowning their children, but somehow forgot their infant baby i.e. me. Apparently, I had floated down the river in the canoe and a Muslim boatperson found me in its bed. So, I was found and raised by my maternal grandparents (Khagswar's parents-in-law). I grew up calling my garndaparents father and mother as I had no clue of the horrific episode. So, my true parents are my maternal grandparents and will remain so forever. Parenthood is not defined by biological relation only. In conclusion, I as the owner state that this letter is authentic. Here are the details about the letter. If you need further clarification, please contact me. Best regards.
