The Unsung PGP
 

 
 
  In 1968, at IIM, Ahmedabad, we had Indianman News for restricted circulation amongst the PGP participants and the staff - teaching and office staff. The newsletter was due to the initiative of Shri M.S. Suresh Rao and Alex Joseph.   
     
. Here is one other article of mine that appeared in that paper due to the oversight of the editors and the editing skill of M.G. Subramanyam. Now to that piece .

 
 
  The Participants have by now accepted that Brownie and his tribe are an integral part of IIM Campus. In fact, an editorial was devoted to this creature [ so should we say Participant ] in "Red Brick", the very distinctive magazine of yesterday that duly earned its place under piles of real solid Red Bricks.  
     
  Brownie's activities range from regular attendance and not infrequent CPs to voicing disapproval at boring meetings. Its beat extends from Vastrapur Village to ATIRA. Brownies and his progeny give the most patient hearing in classes interspersed with snoozes curled up on a chair in the last row. Generally well-informed sources claim that Brownie has a better attendance record [ thanks to his " keeper'] than many participants. His disapprovals are at times violent and it is on record that at least one Professor was forced to jump on to the chair at Brownie's insistence.   
     
  Brownie has not heard of the Government's  'Family Planning' drive or if he has, he couldn't care less. Brownie Ben Blackie - may his tribe increase [ M.G' sentence ]  
     
  His activities are not confined to the class rooms. His contented image greets the hungry participant on his way, in and out of the mess. Babubhai & Co never tire of pointing out the nutritious quality of the grub they dish out as evidenced in Brownie's increasing proportions. [ Babubhai, my class mate, was our mess representative] Those who started an anti-Brownie movement, can rest assured that "authority" will not all his protégé to be so easily done away with.   
     
  Considering that Brownie and his tribe occupy such a position of distinction in the Campus, is it not in the fitness of things a 'society for protection of Brownie and his tribe' be set up ?  
     
  The first step in this direction has already been taken. A file has been opened in the AO's [ Administrative Officer's] office for this purpose. However the most important question now is under whose jurisdiction this subject should come. A serious debate is one, each committee fighting for the privilege. The matter was further complicated when his guardian entered the arena to stake his personal claim. The Recreation Committee demanded first claim on the subject on the the grounds that Brownie was the sole  source of recreation on the Campus. The Mess committee stakes its all in the debate since this prosperous animal belied the popular 'myth' about the lousiness' of the mess grub. The class Reps argued their jurisdiction included all matters not currently under either mess or Recreation committees and consequently 'Brownie's affair'.  
     
  The fate of Brownie and his tribe hangs delicately in the balance
