Was googling some statistics related stuff and came across Basus Theorem ..then found out this Basu is actually Debabrata Basu - another forgotten Bengali mathematician (Dhaka University alum and professor until 1948). Quoting wiki : Debabrata Basu was born in Dacca, Bengal, unpartitioned India, now Dhaka, Bangladesh. His father, N. M. Basu, was a mathematician specializing in number theory. Young Basu studied mathematics at Dacca University. He took a course in statistics as part of the under-graduate honours programme in Mathematics but his ambition was to become a pure mathematician.[3] After getting his masters degree from Dacca University, Basu taught there from 1947 to 1948 Debabrata Basu (5 July 1924 – 24 March 2001) was an Indian statistician who made fundamental contributions to the foundations of statistics. Basu invented simple examples that displayed some difficulties of likelihood-based statistics and frequentist statistics; Basus paradoxes were especially important in the development of survey sampling. In statistical theory, Basus theorem established the independence of a complete sufficient statistic and an ancillary statistic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debabrata_Basu
