[6/15, 09:13] Sekarreporter 1: [6/15, 08:26] N. Ramesh Ed Advt: Commenting on Norton’s work in Alipore case, Sri Aurobindo wrote: “Just as Holinshed, Hall & Plutarch gathered the materials for Shakespeare’s historical plays, so the police had collected the material for this drama of a case. Mr N was its Shakespeare. I noticed one difference between Shakespeare & Norton, however. Shakespeare occasionally would leave out some part of the material that had been collected; but Mr N never left out one jot of what he received By adding plentiful amounts of suggestion, inference & hypothesis from his own imagination, he managed to create such a wonderful plot that Shakespeare & Defoe & the other great poets & novelists would have acknowledged defeat at the hands of this great master”. [ Lives of Aurobindo, 2008]
