Very well written and expressive of our thoughts!

I was his student in Roorkee in the first four year batch when Telecom as Elelectronics was known then became a separate branch. I think he was still in Roorkee in 1963 when we graduated.

He was a great teacher and more than that he was open to real interaction with the students, a concept which was very rare in those days.

My most respectful tribute to this real Guru!

Dear Maj Gen Surjit Singh:
Thank you for sending me what you have written in memory of our Guru Prof. Indiresan.
For me he was everything; a Guru, mentor, brother, friend, all in all. How can I express the inexpressible?
Thank you again.
Best wishes to you,
Bharathi Bhat

I have read a lot about Prof Indiresan and I have also read some of his articles. Never had the luck to meet him in person. May his soul rest in peace.

Such people are an inspiration to all.
Moreover, having such a person as a teacher is all one could ask for.

Dear General,

I was very saddened to hear through your post of Prof. Indiresan’s passing. He was a good counsellor and gave sage advice. He was fearless and outspoken, not one who would play to the gallery. I remember in particular a convocation speech he made at IIT,M in the presence of Indira Gandhi (on reservation and populism).

I once met a Sir Davies in LA who was his advisor (I presume in radar). As an Indian, he presumed I knew Prof. Indiresan – he had a very high impression of him.

People like him are rare treasures – only treasures usually survive us not the other way around.

Sriram

Dear General

I have been reading and listening to Professor PV Indiresan for more than four decades. He has been a source of inspiration. He is a born teacher. He felt the scientific research in this country needed substantial improvement.

‘The researcher is like a bird; hold him too tight – he chokes; hold him too loose – he flies away. Protect him from Babus! Every Babu in the Finance Ministry equals a bomb in the hands of the enemy.’

Thanks for a fine piece on the illustrious son of this soil.

With Best Regards

AVS

What a lovely tribute to a man who deserved it so richly.There was, indeed, much more to him than has been written above.

He had a fertile mind which could churn out PhD projects by the dozen.After, my final project in B.Tech, he made me an offer of a combined M.Tech cum PhD. though such rules did not exist.Had I accepted that offer, life would have taken a different turn.

Clearly, the most unforgettable teacher in my life!
