All of this was matched by an unwavering commitment to world peace and early environmental activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eYet, despite contributing immensely to the Indian intellectual tradition, Kosambi remains widely quoted but rarely read, and far too frequently praised rather than analyzed.
