This entry clearly confuses between the father Dharmanand Damodar Kosambi and the son Kosambi. There is nothing here about the father. In fact, even the beginning is false. It was not the father, who was a well-known scholar of Buddhism and Pali language, but the son who was "a prominent Indian Marxist historian who pioneered Marxist studies of ancient Indian history. He is often regarded as the grandfather of modern Indian historians." Further, it is the son's writings that "have been recently compiled as: D.D. Kosambi: Combined Methods in Indology and Other Writings; compiled, edited and introduced by Brajadulal Chattopadhyaya; Oxford University Press, 2002; pages xxxvii+832". Moreover, the name DD Kosambi is generally referred to the son. I will put a redirection from DD Kosambi to the son's page. And try to write a small stub on the father under his full name.Kumarilabhatta 19:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I have merged Damodar Dharmanand Kosambi with D. D. Kosambi and created a separate stub for Dharmananda Damodar Kosambi. Also, 've created a disambiguation template for D. D. Kosambi.Kumarilabhatta 21:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
