About the author

D.P. Mukerji

Dhurjati Prasad Mukerji was one of the few scholars who remoulded the milieu of Lucknow University, which was set up in the 1920s. Thanks to the residency of D.P. Mukerji, the university underwent an intellectual transformation during the 1930s to the 1950s. He was an inspiration to his colleagues and the community of students at large. His erudition was astounding â€“ he was equally at home in history, sociology, economics, moral philosophy, art, physical sciences, architecture and last but not the least, music.
