Academic life is bound by spaces around one’s scholarly pursuits. This article is an attempt to compare the scholarly pursuits of a Bengali scholar - Sukumar Ray - in London during the early twentieth century with that of ours. It discusses the geographical emotions of scholars while looking at Ray’s letters which were translated and published during his birth centenary in 1987 .References
