Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi (31 July 1907 – 29 June 1966) was an Indian Marxist and mathematician. He used historical materialism to study ancient Indian history. He was the only Asian delegate to the 1949 Cultural and Scientific Conference for World Peace in New York City. He believed in a dialectical connection between science and freedom and did not think scientific experts should only serve the ruling class.[1]
