Aakar Books Staying Connnected Remembering Professor G K Das-Softbound by R W Desai Christel R Devadawson Manoranjan Mohanty Rajiva Verma
This 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 a small 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.
