    Biography

    Ramchundra's father, Rai Sunder Lal Mathur, was employed in the Indian revenue department and, at the time of Ramchundra's birth, he had been posted to Panipat which is a city in north west of India about 70 km from Delhi.

    In fact the family came from Delhi and they were of the Kayastha caste, that is a Hindu caste of scribes who worked in the Indian bureaucracy. Ramchundra's early education was at home, a standard for India at that time, but he also attended school in Panipat from the age of six.

    The family moved back to Delhi but Ramchundra's father Sunder Lal died in 1831 leaving the family in a very difficult financial position. Ramchundra's mother had to care for six young boys.
