Vinayak Mahadeo Dandekar

Anand S Nadkarni To describe Dandekar as an aggressive intellectual who used wit and sarcasm to win debates on issues of social importance is to do injustice to the essential humanism of the man. He was deeply interested in studying closely the country's social problems with a view to discovering how best they could be made more manageable, if not eliminated altogether The focus of his attention was primarily the disadvantaged sections of the community and the approach was basically constructive.
