His cousin was the distinguished astrophysicist Amal Raychaudhuri whose work is fundamental in the Hawking-Penrose theory of singularity formulation in Cosmology. I once had exchanged emails with Brigadier sahib about his distinguished cousin who had just passed away in 2005. In his posts he was thoughtful, insightful and treated everyone with courtesy and respect, a true professional. May his tribe increase.
I remember RayC as an admin on this forum. He held on to his principles against much opposition and fought like a true soldier. He is sorely missed. Through his stories and service his memory lives on!

I Only knew him as RayC , a member of BRF. Read some of his posts. Regarded well, here. May you attain Moksa, Saar, release from the Cycle of Birth and death. If you have to come back, come to Bharatvarsha as its illustrious son that you were in this life.
