Event Details : Srikant Dutt Memorial Lecture on 'Ethnic Homelands and Citizens’ Rights' by Prof. Udayon Misra, Formerly Professor, Dibrugarh University, Assam.

Srikant Dutt was born on November 21, 1954 in Providence Rhode Island, USA, of American  mother  and  Indian  father.  His  early  schooling  was  in  New  York.  He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1975. With a break of two years spent in Japan teaching English to Japanese businessmen,  he  resumed  his  higher studies in 1977 joining the London School of Economics. He submitted his dissertation on Bhutan. He was awarded his Ph.D. in 1981 for his thesis on “India and Third World”. 
Srikant Dutt, however, did not live to see it published as he died in December of the 
same year (1981) of injuries received in an accident in New Delhi.
Srikant Dutt's interest in different peoples and countries began very early in his short life when he travelled with his parents to India, UK and Japan. He travelled extensively by himself beginning from the last year of high school. He travelled not so much as a tourist but as a scholar of political science with an enquiring mind, interested in the peoples and the governments of all these countries. 
For a young scholar, Srikant Dutt produced a corpus of writing which is impressive both 
in its quality as well as in its range. He was deeply concerned with developing nations and their place in the world community, with special reference to India. The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) is fortunate in having been associated with Srikant Dutt in a number of ways. He drew substantially on the scholarly materials available with this institution, both for his doctoral dissertation as well as for the essays he wrote. The NMML has an endowment in the name of Srikant Dutt instituted by his family.
