Dear Abhijit, Thank you for your helpful response. If you can send me scans of your signatures at your convenience, I would be most grateful. Are there many autograph collectors in India? I'd be interested in learning more about how to obtain autographs of prominent Indians (not Bollywood or sports figures)--any email addresses you might be able to share, other items in your collection, etc. Thanks again for your help.
