Sitting in Kerala, South India, I wonder his keenness in analysing the events of the world, in those days , when a trip from India to England took six months to complete. Yet Burke presented in Parliament events from India and America critically and exhaustively. My history professor MP.Sreedharan used to say that Burke was the intellectual still remembered from that period and the style " Burkian style ".

"A man who works beyond the surface of things, though he may be wrong himself, yet he clears the way for others, and may chance to make even his errors subservient to the cause of truth."- Burke
