Thesaurus Man Arvind Kumar

Noted journalist-writer-lexicographer Arvind Kumar (1930-2021) is best known for creating Samantar Kosh, the first-ever thesaurus in Hindi.

He then went on to create a comprehensive bilingual thesaurus, The Penguin English-Hindi Thesaurus & Dictionary, as also many other lexicographical works. All these works are based on his expansive database of more than one million expressions in English and Hindi, Arvind Lexicon Online.

For Arvind, existence meant work, work AND work. His life epitomises ultimate determination, devotion and dedication to his mission. As a 15-year-old Arvind enters a printing press as a mere typesetter, reaches the pinnacle of journalism, and then gives it all up to fulfill a long cherished wish for a thesaurus in Hindi.
