Very sad news. Professor Ramashray Roy was one of the leading Political Scientists of the country with excellent understanding of Indian as well as Western traditions of Social Science research. He was a prolific writer, extraordinary communicator, and brilliant analyst. He had exemplary command over many languages. Was a great human being. Highly empathetic. Greatly compassionate. Superbly knowledgeable. Patient listener. Erudite orator. I had many on many occasions interacted with him on different aspects of Indian polity. I also had the honour of visiting him more than a couple of times besides inviting him to CCS University, Meerut. His unfortunate demise is a considerable loss to Indian academia. The Indian Political Science Association expresses deep condolences.
