15 An extremely rewarding experience can be recalled in this context: one of Francis Robinson's students once met a scholar called Professor Gangatharan, at the Department of History, Banaras Hindu University. His eyesight was specially abled, but on learning about the student's supervisor, he told him that he had read most of Francis Robinson's works, and that Francis was his ‘favourite historian’. He further explained that it was Francis’s lucid, and at times almost lyrical, prose that made his works extremely attractive to him. After all, he could not read Francis’s works with his own eyes, but had to have them read out to him by someone else.
