anyone reading my AfD votes knows I am a HUGE fan of google searches, but in this case this is the wrong way to go. This nomination is remarkably US-centric. Amazon.com is not big on books published by Indian presses decades ago. Nor is an English-google search going to tell you that much about Indian authors.  says that for deceased people we must ask: Has the person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in the specific field? I note that atheists tend to cite this person as influential - see http://www.objectivethought.com/atheism/history.html this history (where he goes by the name of Gora) which cites him as one of the most influential atheists in history or http://www.atheism.ru/old/DulAth17.html this one (in Russian) which labels him "India's most prominent atheist." In short, its clear that this person deserves a place in the history of atheism
