MY HEARTIEST CONDOLANCES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY OF PRO.LOGANATHAN. THERE IS NO WORD TO ENCOURAGE HIS FAMILY.BUT WE HAVE TO SATISFY OUR SELVES SINCE THAT IS THE FATE.
I was shocked as anyone else by this senseless killing. But, looking beyond the mental state of this kid, I would like to think back to my days as an undergraduate student at an elite US University. As a kid of Indian Origin, don't tell me that none of you felt the ignorance of your fellow students who as exactly stated by the killer didn't seem to get enough of their Mercedes, the Trust Fund, the expensive booze, the women they chased etc. Their ignorance ooozed out of their minds - and we are talking about the brightest the US had to offer? Tell me you guys from India who were mostly graduate students in these universities didn't even feel it? Or were you just glad to get out of India? Why doesn't anyone even look at this angle?
My deepest condolences to the family of prof. Lokanathan. God always takes away good people sooner for his own better agenda. May his soul rest in peace, and may God give the family especially his wife and his parents enough strength to withstand this great loss. jagadisan
on this part of the world I along with my family pay deepest condolence to the departed soul. May his (their) sole rest in peace Anil, IHBAS, DELHI, INDIA
Fate or destiny whatever may be the mystery behind this cruel and apathetic occurring. The whole world of teachers and students mourn for this. Both as a teacher and student from Tamil nadu and that too from Chennai, my deep sorrow follows. may the Almighty shower more strength to bear this for all the people concerned
my grievences are with those unfortunate parents who lost their beloved and so young children in this incident, these young kids were the result of their life long hardwork and devotion and now only left with shattered dreams.
Dr.G.V. Loganathan was my PUC batch-mate (1970-71) in St. Josheph's College, Trichy as well as BE batch-mate (1971-76) in PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore. We stayed in the same college hostels.
He was a very good chess player and a nice person to move with. He went on to do M. Tech as well as Doctorate at Kanpur IIT. I lost contact after he went to USA.
This a cruel-some murder. All our batch mates are grief stricken. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his bereaved family members.

Please will Rediff get facts straight and update reports? The shooter was a South Korean student of English who went beserk after searching for his girlfriend who left him or so reports say.
On what grounds does the moderator and who is he/she to disable reporting abuse from some very irrelevant and ridiculous comments? This is absolutely unheard of. Abuse may be reported but must be evaluated by someone with criteria. Your moderator would be better off cancelling all those biased comments that don't even consider the facts of the article concerned and end up pitting Hindus against Muslims.
This has become a paranoic state of mind that shows how unable we are to evaluate facts that have NOTHING to do with the issue of Hindu vs Muslims.The editor/publisher should bring back the discussion into the relevant framework if any positive result is to be obtained.
