The Success of Mr. Innaiah is the tale of victory of the cause of ‘Justice to the Scholars.’ It may appear to be the alone fight of a single person; yet it partakes of the character of a fight for the vindication of rights of scholars to have their dissertations treated with consideration and sympathy in keeping with the highest principles of the academic life. It is neither a carving for charity nor is a praying for mercy. It is a reminder to the country. It is a beacon of light beckoning the academic community to develop the spirit of enquiry, respect for knowledge and attitude of detachment. All kudos goes to Dr. Innaiah, who braved the hardship and suffering to raise the standard of revolt for a just and noble cause.

Evelyn Trent (1892 – 1970) was born and educated in USA. She belongs to the old left of the first world war generation, who saw the failure of capitalism and was hopeful of socialism. She was a left intellectual even before reading Karl Marx. Evelyn was a radical graduate of Standford University. She met M. N. Roy (1887 – 1955) in the University campus in 1916. They influenced each other; together they changed totally, forgot their ethnic past and grew as cosmopolitan intellectuals. That was a great meeting of the East and West, disproving Rudyard Kipling, who said: East is East and West is West, never the twain shall meet.
