Surendranath Dasgupta (1887-1952 A.D.) was a scholar of Sanskrit and philosophy. Dasgupta was born in Kushtia, Bengal in a Vaidya family. His ancestral home was in the village Goila in Barisal District. He studied in Ripon College Calcutta and graduated with honours in Sanskrit. Originally Dasgupta’s plan was to write out the history of Indian systems of thought in one volume. This was the first and only attempt to write out in a systematic manner a history of Indian thought directly from the original sources in Sanskrit, Pali and Prakrit.
