  1. Dr. Nanigopal Devdas .... Daktarbabu was my immdtely elder bro's (Mej-da) respected Father-in-law. He also treated my mother for some time. He cured me fm a disease & I have high regards for Late Daktarbabu. He was well known to Bogra (Bagura) people as was evident to me when I visited Northern Bangladesh on a tour & my boyhood friend Dilip Mukherjee & his family always held him in high regards due to his high medical acumen.Daktarbabu's eldest son & his wife who are based in Tata (Jamshedpur) are also celebrated Doctors. Gradually... I read books written by Daktarbabu & knew about his Literary sides. Moulana Vasani spoke highly of Dr. N. G Devdas. He was a boyhood friend of famous revolutionar & a martyr Prafulla Chaki. May be this blog space is not enough to say words about him. My tribute to Dr. N. G Devdas.

  2. Please correct the spelling of his name. It will be Dr. Nani Gopal Debdas, not Debdas.
