[Gasification] [Stoves] Producer gas without nitrogen

[Anand Karve]

Dear Arnt,
The President of India is a political appointee. Before being appointeed to
Presidentship, our present President was rather an obscure member of
Parliament. When she was appointed as President, we learnt that in her
college days she used to play badminton and during her adult life she
supported Mrs. Indira Gandhi. She got the Presidentship most probably
because of the loyalty that she showed to Mrs. Indira Gandhi. The
penultimate President that we had, was in fact a professional scientist,
but he could not influence the science establishment in India during his
tenure as President. In fact he made a fool of himself by rooting for
Jatropha curcas and biodiesel made from it, without realising that
Jatropha was one of the lowest yielding vegetable oil plant species in
India.
Yours
A.D.Karve
