My father's name was Khem Chand. He did not use Mathur, a sub-caste identifier, as his last name. He was born in 1911 in Alwar, which was a Princely State at that time. He attended St. Stephen's College in Delhi.
In the last row, at the extreme right is Prof. Spear, an accomplished historian of modern Indian social history who had a great influence on my father.
On the chairs, in the centre, is Winsor sahib (as my father called him) (lecturer in English and History, 1928-35), a linguist who knew many languages.
My father also talked about Prof. Young, who taught English and was editor of the St. Stephen's Magazine (later The Stephanian) at the time.
