Dedication
Shri. T.S. Srinivasan
These contributions to the neurosciences are dedicated to the memory
and humanitarian vision of the late Shri. T. S. Srinivasan. The youngest
son of Shri. T. V. Sundaram Iyengar, Shri. T. S. Srinivasan began his career
with the TVS Group companies and was noted for his innovative ideas.
He not only modernised the services and facilities of the Group companies, but also guided their entrance into the manufacture of critical automotive components.
His dynamism and enterprise
culminated in the establishment of several manufacturing units in
collaboration with leading international organisations. His foresight was
also responsible for the manufacture of powered two-wheelers for
personal transportation.
From an early age, Shri. Srinivasan was the embodiment of compassion.
He earned the love and affection of his employees with his humane
approach and unique empathy – a wisdom that brought the humblest
sufferer to his door. He was fully committed to alleviating the sufferings
of his fellow human beings. Monetary considerations never stood in the
way of his fulfilling this commitment.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into
fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into
e dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by
Thee into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven for freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
- Rabindranath Tagore (Gitanjali)

Our Publications
One of the outcomes of the TS Srinivasan Knowledge Conclaves is this series of transcultural neurology publications from Cambridge University Press. Encouraged by an endowment from the TS Srinivasan Charitable Trust these publications bring together neuroscientists and mental health professionals from across the globe to address “Transcultural Issues” of import. Dementia (now with the second edition in press) and Epilepsy are the first two books in the series.
