Thanks @Gayatri.

Who was Meherally? Give more details.

Thanks for providing information about it.

Eminent mean a person is well known and respected, especially because they are good at their profession.

Uday was a dancer, shantaram was a filmmaker (do aankhen barah haath) and mehrally (yusuf) was a freedom fighter and a socialist so among these only sarada was a painter.

Nice, Thank you all.

I know V. Shantaram is an film director but I don't have idea about Sarada Ukil.

Sarada Charan Ukil was born at Bikrampur in 1888 in district of Dacca in East Bengal, now Bangla Desh. Sarada Ukil received his education in art from the Calcutta School of Art and was inspired by the paintings of Abanindra Nath Tagore.

Like Asit Kumar Haldar and Nandalal Bose, he was one of the pioneers of Bengal School of Painting. In 1920 Sarada Ukil shifted to New Delhi. In 1927, along with his brothers Barada and Ranada he founded the Ukil School of Art in Connaught Place, New Delhi. His paintings were displayed at the Indian Art Exhibitions held in London in 1932, 1933 and 1935 at India House under the auspices of the India Society.

Dr. J.H. Cousins exhibited his works in Paris, Geneva, The Hague, Dublin and in the U.S.A. His last great work was a series of paintings of 31 panels on Krishna Legend for Sri Gopalji temple, Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh.
