Sharit Bhowmik Obituary

"Sharit was, more than anything else, a role model of a new generation sociologist who combined activism and scholarship seamlessly and effectively.  He is mourned by his many students, whom he nurtured actively and sustainedly through their early careers; his colleagues and fellow workers who shared his space and vision, by the vast numbers of labour activists and workers whom he befriended and worked alongside.  He will be sorely missed, especially in an environment that needs the broad-­‐based, progressive vision, scholarship and activism of those like Sharit Bhowmik"
