Vijoy Shankar Sahay is a professor and head of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Allahabad, India. His early training in anthropology has been in Ranchi University, Ranchi, under the leadership of Late Professor L. P. Vidyarthi. He earned his doctorate in anthropology from Ranchi University in 1979 for his research on the Nicobar Islands. Sahay's article "Experiencing Anthropology in the Nicobar Archipelago", published in the Eastern Anthropologist, presents an account of his sojourn in Chowra. According to Simron Jit Singh, "the first lucid, field-based account comes from the Indian anthropologist Vijoy S Sahay (1976, 1979), apparently the last witness to the system of inter-island trade as it existed then".
