Function (31-07-1981)

Dhawan’s non-formal rapport with his students and subordinates helped flourish a beautiful
work culture at IISc, sans any undue professional stress. “While most of the faculty members

wore a coat and tie, Dhawan wore colourful Californian shirts. He was the only faculty
member who would come to the lecture hall smiling,” recalled Prof Narasimha. Dhawan was
a true-blue patriot. He asserted his deep love for the country with his actions, rather than
flaunting the same in words or speech. “For him, patriotism was never a badge he wore, but

was evident by the way he was committed to doing things here,” shared Prof Narasimha. The
Padma Vibhushan scientist considers himself privileged to have worked in such close
quarters with Prof Dhawan.
