Notes
  1. Not K. S. Gopalakrishnan. This K. S. Gopalakrishnan worked with films during 1940s and early 1950s. He was the director of Gemini's Chakradhari (1948).
gollark: Was he significantly more racist/etc. than *other* people at the time? I'd assume so somewhat.
gollark: In Spanish, it's the word for "black",even, IIRC.
gollark: poßibly.
gollark: I would, personally, like to be mostly generalist and not excessively tied to some particular industry/etc.
gollark: Anyway, I feel like specializing entirely in some esoteric computer science field is problematic.
