I like your article on Indo-China-Pak wars history on BV. Thank you for giving Nehru the credit of keeping India in perspective despite a young PM and a young country having to face Chinese agression in it s infancy. Overall India has done well dspite ministerial corruption keeping nonetheless the aesthetic values of humanity. This essay article should give the young millannials a glimse of the past in a nutshell honoring the Indian heritage. In recent years I personally notice they depart from our rich heritage pursuing popular western yappy culture. Pride oneself of being Indian and act like an Indian. I particulary loved the Indian journalist at Trump presser at his recent visit to India, though the western journalists mocked him the overwhelming comments appreciated him quipping unlike western journalists, this journalist knew and has learnt more than one language . India, strong stand your ground together.

Thank you Dr. Eugene for the wonderful pictorial report. Wishing all the best to Fr. Vijith

Thank you Philip for the wonderful article and refreshing history of 1962. PRC was always stronger than India due to its communist rule. India is not united due to democracy! PRC always back stabbed.

Great article Philip. Good to know the history of Sino-Indian relations. Looking forward to the second part of this article. Thanks

May the Lord bless you as you follow in His way. May you find joy and peace as He inspires you each day. Congratulations on your Ordination.

We were very good next door neighbours at Jumbo Darshan..my sister Vienna myself used to enjoy his company. He was sp downright humble was just beginning an era of a great career.Rita his wife

Clement was my classmate 1st grade thru new 8th grade at St. Lawrence School. He in fact is my third cousin by virtue of his maternal grandmother and my paternal grandmother were sisters. I remember dictating to him English articles while he practiced stenography during evening hours at our St. Lawrence Association residence in Byculla, Bombay. I remember him as a go getter and worked hard towards his goals.
May he rest in peace in the loving embrace of our Lord. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

May his soul rest in peace.Amen
Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.
