A typo in the article
In the introduction, the term "dean" should be replaced by "doyen". Indeed, in the two links quoted in the relevant line, Prof. Majumdar is described as the "doyen" of Indian historians, and not as "dean", which seems to be a term more of an administrative nature. --Saurav

Death date
His death date appears to be February 11, 1980. See http://books.google.de/books?id=wfHgzS4etAkC&pg=PA522&dq=R.C.+Majumdar+February+1980&hl=de&sa=X&ei=v13pUJCINobuswadtoGQCw&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=R.C.%20Majumdar%20February%201980&f=false and http://books.google.de/books?id=LKySGJAGVEQC&pg=PA183&dq=R.C.+Majumdar+February+1980&hl=de&sa=X&ei=v13pUJCINobuswadtoGQCw&ved=0CEQQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=R.C.%20Majumdar%20February%201980&f=false --91.39.61.97 (talk) 11:23, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Sheriff of Kolkata
The two citations given in the lead for the claim that he was ever Sheriff of Kolkata don't mention this office. Both only mention Majumdar briefly and in passing. I am having trouble finding any evidence for this claim that doesn't look like it originated on Wikipedia itself. The page Sheriff of Kolkata also lists him; the citation for this source is the highly unreliable sheriffofcalcutta.webs.com, which is no longer live, though an archived copy is available here. If someone has evidence of this claim, please provide a source. Brusquedandelion (talk) 12:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @Brusquedandelion: I am pretty certain that Wikipedia did not exist as of 1969 or 1985. :-) TrangaBellam (talk) 12:23, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
