Dear Jonathan,
 
  I tried my Google-fu with a couple of internet searches in English and in Bengali, without success. I did find, though, this Google Books snippet, which makes certain that he was dead by 1992:

  Unfortunately Google Books does not grant further access, but if it may be helpful I can check the copy in the library once I manage to get there (still largely off-campus chez nous).
  If the annual memorial lecture in his name (still being held?) was instituted the year after his death, that may have taken place in 1991, at the remarkable but still possible age of 103. Indo-Iranica is the publication of the Iran Society in Kolkata, which is apparently still active.    
  Perhaps then (1889-ante 1992)?
 
  namaskaromi,
 
  Diego

Friends, according to all sources I have found Narendranath Law was born in 1889. I strongly suspect that he is no longer alive (although if he is, well, felicitations!), and yet I am unable to find a date of death. Does anyone know? And if so, where did you find it?

Many thanks in advance,

Jonathan
