  1. You are confused. The one who worked in GEneva is RD pradhan and totally different from the author of the book India struggle for swaraj. The are like chalk and cheese in all manner including intellect and ethics. Please don't make any comparism or create confusion. It's blasphemous!

  2. R.G.Pradhan was a khaki clad penniless and ethical freedom fighter far removed from the modern day IAS R.D. Pradhan.

    2. Yes,I will be writing to them too. Thank you for the correction. However R.G. Pradhan is the author of the book "India's struggle for Swaraj". I am his granddaughter and I also happen to have seen the other R.D. Pradhan at close quarters, hence I was so shocked. I apologise if I sounded brusque.
