Dr. Shankar Dhondo Karve
He is the most less known of all the sons of Mahrshi Karve, mainly because his work area was not in India. He mainly worked in Mombasa, Kenya. He was a pioneer doctor in Kenya & a stamp was issued on his 80th birthday by Kenyan governmen, which is a very rare occasion. He took initaiative in establishing the Pandya Memorial Clinic in 1947. It was the first clinic to be open for all religions & races in the whole of East Africa. He was a gyanecologist.
Like all other successful Karves he also got able support from his wife Revati.
