Jai is remembered for his outstanding ability to talk to people, patiently and persuasively, about things that he held very dear and to convince them of the rightness of his beliefs and convictions. Above all was his abiding love for India and the Indian people whose well-being was closest to his heart and for which he was determined to come back to India when his life was cruelly cut short.
“Man’s dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying he might say, all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world – the fight for the liberation of mankind. And must make use of every moment of life, lest some sudden illness or tragic accident cut it short”.
