Of the speed afforded to us by the internet one cannot say enough: within the hour of Raje's passing, the sms that circulated amongst his students was up on his page in wikipedia. that there was someone to update the page is not surprising only because we know how universally available this medium is, and therefore how many people must theoretically be able to see and use this one page at the same time (thousand? ten thousand?). No big deal, then, when the message originally posted was modified on the page. however poetically retrograde the change was, the fact that the modified post made changes to what was circulated meant that history was misreported. i have re-set the words to their original sequence because that was how i recieved them as news of passing of the great man. i wonder, though, to what extent we will be able to keep the truths that he so solidly stood for unbroken and unblemished.
