A History of Agriculture in India v1.c2.2

v1.c2.2

Scientist, educationist, litterateur, art connoisseur, historian, administrator and farmer, Dr Randhawa is a towering figure in many fields of human endeavour but he does not flaunt his remarkable talents. The distinguished American economist, Professor John Kenneth Galbraith, who came to know Dr Randhawa personally during his stay in India as the Ambassador of the United States, says: "He is, indeed, an extraordinary man. His mind has ranged over nearly the whole sphere of knowledge of science and art, from soil conservation to botany, to city management, history, religion, architecture and art. And in none of these has he been content to be an amateur. In every one he has manifested both the instinct and the diligence of the professional. I continue to be puzzled that one mild man could know accurately so much and to such good purpose."
