It was a surprising and happy moment for Prof. James Manor of London University, who was in Mysuru to deliver a lecture on D. Devaraj Urs at MYRA School of Business on Aug. 21, under the aegis of Devaraj Urs Centre for Development Studies (DCDS), when I met him. I went to attend his lecture as I had briefly met him nearly 25 years ago in his Chambers at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK, as I was there for an advance training programme on Gender Planning. It was a great surprise then for me to come across a big poster-size photo of Devaraj Urs pasted in his Chambers.
