Political Quotes

“I rise today to congratulate Dr. Goberdhan Bhagat on the occasion of his retirement as professor of political science at the University of Mississippi. A native of India, Professor Bhagat received the bachelor of arts degree from Tej Narian Jubilee College, and the master of arts degree from Patna University. He distinguished himself as an adviser to the Indian delegation to the United Nations in the early 1960's during which time he earned another master of arts degree and the doctor of philosophy degree from Yale University. He joined the faculty of the University of Mississippi in 1964. During his 30 years of dedicated service, Dr. Bhagat taught thousands of students and brought a special international perspective to his academic department and to the university. His enduring influence might be described in the words of Rabindranath Tagore, that great poet of India, who wrote on visiting Yale University that-- Years mature into fruit So that some small seeds of moments May outlive them. His colleagues and students will long remember their moments with Goberdhan Bhagat, and the seeds of those moments will endure.”
