As the entire nation asks BIG questions on the safety of campuses in the US of A…a small village in Tamil Nadu is drenched in the pool of shattered dreams. The Dreams of a Common Indian Man who wanted to Make it Big!
Prof. G V Loganathan:
(The professor was killed while taking a class in mechanics. This was the second classroom that the gunman entered. He taught in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Virginia campus. His programme area was environmental and water resources engineering, and he had received many awards for excellence in teaching. An alumnus of IIT-Kanpur, he completed his doctorate at the Purdue University and joined the Virginia Tech University in 1982.)
Professor Loganathan was born in Tamil Nadu’s Erode district. Born into a lower middle class family, he is one of the few people who shared the great Indian Dream…! Daring to dream big and making it to where he thought he needs to belong. Now the family in mourning sees the shattered dream and for them there is no more of him to share the sorrow!
