In a book called “The Course of My Life ” by CD Deshmukh ( who was a distinguished member of the Indian Civil Service) there is a mention of Kashinath Shriram Jatar (Bapurao), my grand-uncle (grandfather’s brother). This was probably the first time C. D. Deshmukh met Bapurao who later became a great friend of the Jatar family.
CD Deshmukh later became Finance Minister of India and resigned on the issue of Bombay in Maharashtra because Nehru was not agreeing to it. CD Deshmukh also served with Bapurao’s younger brother Bhausaheb also in erstwhile CP & Berar. There are photographs of CD Deshmukh in our family album.
This post is about how CD Deshmukh met Bapurao and the pleasant experience he had because Bapurao was most helpful to him. The excerpt from the book can be found here and this is what he says about Bapurao:
Bapurao was a very helpful person, who also did social service. He was on the board of Seva Sadan Society.
