Biography

Shahpurshah Hormasji Dinshahji Hodivala (1867-1944), is an iconic figure in the fields of medieval Indian numismatics and historical studies. He made unequalled contribution to the study of Mughal numismatics and his seminal work, Historical Studies in Mughal Numismatics (Calcutta, 1923) has been serving as a beacon of light to the students of Mughal numismatics for close to a century now. He had the honour of becoming the first Indian President of the Numismatic Society of India (Delhi Session, 1922). Besides, he is also well known for his Studies in Parsi History.
Sanjay Garg (b. 1965) is a numismatist and economic historian of international repute. He has extensive research experience in history of South Asia, with specialization in economic and monetary history, currency and coinage, historical architecture, and archival studies. His research findings have been widely published in print and multimedia, and include an edited volume of S.H. Holdivala’s numismatic contributions, Studies in Mughal Mint-Towns & Other Essays (2014).
At present Dr. Garg is posted as the Director, Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre, Astana (Kazakhstan).
