Farrokh Khudamurad Irani, Farrokh K. Irani (or F.K. Irani) for we Mysureans, Founder of the famous Ideal Jawa Motorcycle Factory at Yadavagiri, Mysuru, was an iconic Mysurean of his days since 1960. He passed away in October 1985 but happily there are Mysureans who revere his memory. I discovered the proof of this sentiment when Farrokh’s grandson (son of Farrokh’s eldest son Raian Irani) Yazad Raian Irani got the highest number of votes (182 out of 197 valid votes) in the membership election to the Mysore Race Club (MRC) held on 31.3.2021. I was delighted that the MRC members have not forgotten Farrokh’s contribution to the very existence, rather the survival, of MRC and voted his grandson with the highest number of votes ever in MRC membership election history.
