  or nearly two-and-half     Fdecades, Dr Chandan Mitra’s name was synonymous with The Pioneer. On Wednesday night, the organi- sation’s helmsman left — left forever — leaving behind his     devastated wife, Shobori Ganguli, two sons — Kushan Mitra and Shakya Mitra — and an extended family of col- leagues and loved ones. Dr Mitra, 66, passed away late on Wednesday. He has been keeping unwell for the last one year. Dr Mitra was a man of many seasons. A two-time member of the Rajya Sabha, an avid reader, a movie buff, a pas- sionate traveller, and, above all, an editor with a sharp political mind and ear to the ground. Dr Mitra was an alumnus of La Martiniere Calcutta. From there, he went to St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, where he was highly active in Left-wing stu- dents’ politics. Mitra received an MA and MPhil in History from Delhi University and briefly taught at Hansraj College. In 1984, Mitra received a doctorate at Oxford University,             where he was a member of              Magdalen College. The subject  !
