The Essence of the Visionary

The weight and the depth of Dr. Neog's ample work place him as the last generation of the Renaissance, in an age of specialization. It validates my belief that a scholar can, by dint of his work, become an institution. -- Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan A scholar of such deep and diverse erudition as Dr Neog, with his varied range and profound scholarship, has worked on a great many critical editions of a number of important ancient and medieval texts in both Sanskrit and Assamese. He is assuredly Assam's treasured gem. ----- Prof. Suniti Kumar Chatterjee A passionate lover of his land, he enriched the cultural heritage of Assam to become an institution himself. ----- Dr. Nagen Saikia With his holistic vision, I marveled to find Dr. Neog (my father) stand like a colossus to the awe and reverence of his admirers. His voluminous bulk of work shall enrich Assam's academic heritage and the literary realm forever. ----- Prof. Navamalati Neog Chakraborty
