This is a laudable effort and has the potential to develop into a valuable resource for those interested in preserving, interpreting, analysing historical records and bringing out studies that weave social, political and economic issues of the time seamlessly. Dr Nita Mukherjee's works represent such an effort maintaining highest professional standards. congratulations on your new endeavour.
I am a former student of respected Dr. Sanghvi. Where can I find the book - Healing the Body Touching the Heart: The Life & Times of Dr LM Sanghvi?
