Rajeshwar Shastri Dravid (1899 – 1950) was an Indian writer, scholar, grammarian and translator of Sanskrit literature.[1] Dravid (Sanskrit: द्रविड) is a surname found in the Tamil Brahmin community who migrated to the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka, India. A significant population has emigrated to Madhya Pradesh and Varanasi among other places.[2] Born in 1899 in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, he was the author several books in Sanskrit which included Sāṅkhyakārikā,[3] Bhāratīya-rājanīti-prakaśah[4] and R̥ṣikalpanyāsaḥ.[5] His brother, Raja Ram Dravid, was the author of The Problem of Universals in Indian Philosophy, a critique of ancient Indian philosophy.[6] The Government of India awarded him Padma Bhushan, the third highest Indian civilian award, in 1960.[7]
