Author, and a keen student of India and international affairs, Mr. Goshal is one of the best informed men upon his country and its problems to be found in United States. He is-a shrewd observer of the passing show in wegt as well as in the east. Though he was born in Calcutta and educated in the schools and university of that city, Mr. Goshal speaks fluent English.

It might be better stated that he speaks "fluent American," for he is married to an American girl and has spent half of his life in the United States. Summer lecturer at Harvard, author of numerous books and pamphlets on India, Mr. Goshal is considered an authority on his native land. In him is blended the ideal viewpoint of the east and the west. While he was studying American ways and during the time he was writing his book, "People of India," Mr.

Goshal supported himself as an actor and technical director in Hollywood. These activities gave him a better chance to understand this country and its people than is enjoyed by most of his countrymen.
