The Concluding Message
In the habit of exchanging letters regularly, the last time Satish Chandra wrote to Gandhi was on 24 January 1947, explaining how to repeat the name of Rama with a breath control; happy with that instruction, on 1 February, Gandhi thanked Satish Chandra for "Your lovely letter": on 30 January 1948, Gandhi breathed his last by repeating He Rama.
Satish Chandra died on 18 April 1948. He was married to Charulata Mukherjee, women right's activist and social worker; and they had children: Air Marshal Subroto Mukerjee, Prosanto Mukherjee and Renuka Ray Renuka Ray (1904-1997) became a noted freedom-fighter, social activist and member of Lok Sabha twice from Malda.

Famous quotes containing the words concluding and/or message:
“The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences. In our hands it develops and changes, through more or less arbitrary and deliberate revisions and additions of our own, more or less directly occasioned by the continuing stimulation of our sense organs. It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The photographic image ... is a message without a code.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
