The second time I saw him was when I went to Ajmer to give a lecture at Mayo College. I hired a car to bring me to the Jaipur airport, but told the driver we were making a 2-hour detour to Tilonia. After Bunker and I talked, I made my way across the compound to see his wife, Aruna Roy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aruna_Roy She led the most amazing civil rights effort in recent times, enshrined the right to information in the Indian Constitution, starting with the villages of Rajasthan.
