Why do you think Professor Gaitonde decided never to preside over meetings again?
Professor Gaitonde experiences a different story of Panipat war. He sees that Marathas defeating Afghans. After this India becomes independent. Then he reaches Azad Maidan where a lecture on the outcomes of the battle of Panipat is going on. He sees that the chair of the chairman was vacant. He gets on to the stage and protests against this. The crowd gets furious and starts throwing objects on him and throws him out. This horrendous experience makes him decide to never preside over meetings again.
Rajendra said this statement to Professor Gaitonde. He guessed it right that maybe Professor was thinking about the catastrophe theory and its role in wars at the time of the collision. Perhaps he was thinking about the Battle of Panipat and the neurons of his brain acted as a trigger. And he made the transition.
