the [[Harish-Chandra Research Institute]] in [[Allahabad]] for about a decade. He is a renowned [[number theorist]] known for his work in the areas of [[automorphic representations]]. He is well known for "Gross-Prasad Conjectures"<ref name="b">http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~kyodo/kokyuroku/contents/pdf/1338-17.pdf</ref><ref name = b>http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~kyodo/kokyuroku/contents/pdf/1338-17.pdf</ref> which have attracted a considerable interest among Number Theorists.<ref name=k>http://www.ams.org/bookstore-getitem/item=AST-346</ref>

In recognition of his contributions, the [[Government of India]] awarded him the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology|Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize]] in [[mathematical sciences]] for 2002. Apart from that he holds JC Bose fellowship awarded by the [[Department of Science and Technology]], New Delhi.<ref  name=k><http://www.tifr.res.in/Notices/search.php?sp=20&past=Y&appid=awardshonours_notices</ref> He is also a recipient of the Swarna Jayanti Fellowship in 1999.<ref name=p>http://insaindia.org/detail.php?id=P03-1342</ref>
