The focus of discussion is the formation of black holes and naked singularities in various physically reasonable models of gravitational collapse. Possible implications for the cosmic censorship hypothesis are outlined. 1 e-mail:tpsingh@tifrvax.tifr.res.in While an occasion such as this one is personally very gratifying, I must confess to some misgivings as to the appropriateness of selecting for special honor those who have received recognition of a particular kind by their contemporaries.
