Pradip Kumar Bose (1946-2021) a Maverick in many fields

ABSTRACT

This article sadly remembers Pradip Kumar Bose, the distinguished social scientist admired and valued by generations of scholars. We have lost him, in the unsparing second wave of Covid-19, on 29 May 2021. An engagement with his ideas and work, while always incomplete, could be a sincere gesture of remembering him. I keep in mind the impossibility of outlining his expansive oeuvre within the scope of an article. This makes one sad and hesitant. © 2021 Economic and Political Weekly. All rights reserved.
