DescriptionThis bilingual collection of reminiscence of the late G.K. Das, former Head of the Department of English at the universities of Delhi and Kashmir and Vice-Chancellor, Utkal University, derives from several sources. These include his family, fellow academics, and former students and friends, many of whom have distinguished themselves in various professions including business, civil service and diplomacy. As the reminiscences, both in English and Odia, recall the early days of Professor Das in asmall town in Odisha, and his days in Cambridge, Delhi, Srinagar and Bhubaneswar, he is seen as resolutely holding on to a range of competing affiliations: local, national, and international.
