In the old burying ground of Calcutta, on the south side of Park Street, amid obelisks, pyramids, pillars and tombs of various forms, at the western extremity, "next to the monument of Major Maling on the south," lies the mortal remains of one of the highest gifted and most accomplished, Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, a poet, philosopher and thinker, who passed away at the age of 22. Derozio is an immortal Anglo-Indian poet, as we still talk about him, write about him and read his brilliant poems, 170 years after his death. All Anglo-Indians worldwide should read Derozio's poems, introduce them to their children, grand-children. *** --- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar Nagpur, India
