Talk:John Brough

--24.3.19.143 17:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)There was another John Brough, from the U.K.

Untitled
Professor of Sanskrit in the University of London, Formerly Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. Known to his friends as Jack, he was born in Dundee, Scotland, on August 31st 1917. He died on September 1st 1984. Survived by his wife, Marjorie, daughter Catrine and at least one grandchild.

His academic interests were in Philology and Eastern Languages. He was a contributor to and editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica. During the Second World War, he served his country as a translator for the Italian Prisoners of War. One of his favorite pass-times was listening to Victor Borge records.

Published works include Selections from Classical Sanskrit Literature, and the Journal of Indian Philosophy. He conveyed gratefulness to the School of Oriental and African Studies for the financing of his publication. Jack Brough also believed that the Hindu religion of India was as authentic as his own Christian faith.

In 1984, while on his regular walk near his home at Bishop’s Stortford, he was accidentally hit by a speeding car. He later died of his injuries. True to his love of both India and Britain, his funeral service was inspired by both Anglican Communion and Hindu religious consciousness.

Take care,

Nicholas Brough

Write a new article
If John Brough is a notable person, the correct thing to do is to write a biographical sketch about him not put these notes on the talk page for a different John Brough. If you need assistance in this, please let me know, I'd be glad to assist in setting up the articles. David 04:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Republican or War Democrat?
He's listed both here and in List of Governors of Ohio as a Republican, but both the article text and other sources I've seen indicate he was a War Democrat elected Governor on a Unionist ticket. Carolina wren (talk) 19:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
