De Valera Examines Me

De Valera was at that time eighty years old. I was perhaps thirty-six or thirty-seven. I was on the right side of forty. He saw me like this. I could not believe. He was like the Father of the Nation, Ireland, as Gandhi is the Father of the Nation of India. Sundar was responsible. Sundar made the arrangements.

And de Valera started asking me a volley of questions on the Bible. I am the right person! He was examining me perhaps if I had studied. So, I was able to satisfy him. This is called luck.
