I don't believe the subject meets wikipedia notability standards for notability as a academic, author, or elocutionist. Most of the sources cited in the article are unreliable websites or self-published sources, and I couldn't verify the few citations to mainstream newspapers mentioned, or find any reliable secondary sources searching through google news, dedicated India-news search tools, or Proquest.

Delete - does not meet WP:NPROF (his most cited work has 6 cites), WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG. He received no hits in News, Highbeam or JSTOR. Books returned a few hits, but they appear to be for a biochemist of the same name.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:01, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles (talk) 01:01, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Likely delete as I found nothing better than this and this (this last one seems to have one link for a P. Chattopadhyay, not sure if it's him). Pinging for comment.  SwisterTwister   talk  03:59, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Clearly not notable under WP:PROF--low citations --most cited article is 20; being a reviewer for journals is nota notability. I can't as easily judge the rest, but the oral recitation material seems trivial, with the references essentially mere notices.  DGG ( talk ) 04:08, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
