KUTTICHCHATHANS

Well, after my LL M Thesis I got  an opportunity to work on hypothesis etc. When the same bizarre question arose after an interval of nearly 33 years i studied the matter in detail, referred lot of peer material and am writing this  now.I intend pursuing the matter further and publishing it as a book in 2021, as part of the centenary celebrations of Panditji, who was the first to bring in this term"KC" in short. If i am not around by then, it is for my legal heirs, successors, assigns, or even well -wshers(if i have any by then) to do so.                                        
Question is whether  Kuttichchathans (KCs) exist? Answer is NO and YES. No, they do not exist by being a seperate species  but Yes,  some child or mentally un-grown child like person become Chathans(devils) under an external evil influence.                                                                                                                                                          
The Three ingredients in such scenario are:
1. Strife.( will be always there-Bhagwad Gita)
2 A neurotic person to become the victim. .(This is my improvement over Dr.M Scott Peck)Relatives of the victim may also be victims by proxy
3. A child or child like person.

 The remedy is not to be neurotic.

Death of a dear friend.

It was a chill night in the winter of 1965 at Majitha ,near Amritsar,Punjab,India that Lt Col(then Lt) Anand Kumar Ghosh surrendered his future to me by choosing to follow my rebellious ways. I had decided to ask for an apology from our Officer Commanding for the illegal and unbecoming way we two were treated that night and desist eating from his so called Officers Mess till the apology is given. Since then, till he started drifting in 1993 he was a great friend to me and my family.In childhood he was an orphan,except for his mother.Joined Army with only a Diploma.By the time he retired he had acquired a string of Degrees .In retired life he was a Principal ,Professor.Most qualified among all the officers of his course.He perished in his own thoughts suddenly in the morning of Friday,Jan28,2011. A few months earlier,he had rescued his near ninety mother from the jaws of death after a brain hemorrhage.Such are His strange ways!I could not go to his funeral as he has worn me out so much during his via-Delhi travelling days! But friend B M Thapa has done so much ,really so much for a remarkably respectable Send-Off to our dear A K. God only knows ,why A K had so much gall for him. Good Bye,A K. Convey my regards to Brigs Mallappa and Nair.
