'I had the privilege to work with Rangan Datta. He has contributed scholarly entries to the Dictionary of Historical Places, which I am currently editing (forthcoming). He is also a very good photographer with aesthetic ability. The overall experience of working with him was fantastic and worthy of remembering. Rangan has a very friendly appearance and he can accept all challenges with a smile.'
