Early life[edit]

Dr Ram Manohar Lohia, Mani Ram Bagri, Madhu Limay, S M Joshi
Ram Manohar Lohia attended the Banaras Hindu University to complete his intermediate course work after standing first in his school's matriculation examinations in 1927. He then joined the Vidyasagar College, under the University of Calcutta and in 1929, earned his B.A. degree.[2] He decided to attend Frederick William University (today's Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany) over all prestigious educational institutes in Britain to convey his dim view of British philosophy. He soon learned German and received financial assistance based on his outstanding academic performance, studying national economy as his major subject as a doctoral student from 1929 to 1933.[3]
It was at Frederick William University that Ram Manohar Lohia and Julião Menezes met, as they were studying at the same University. They shared similar opinions on many issues that confronted the world then, dominated by the colonial powers. Menezes from Estado da India, took active part in the Indian Students’ Union in Berlin, along with Lohia who was the secretary of the Indian Students Union. Once in the 1930’s when Lohia and Menezes attended the session of the League of Nations, they both booed at Maharaja of Bikaner, a representative of India, who was talking about peace, while India and Estado da India, Goa (Portuguese colony) were groaning under the yoke of colonialism, british and portuguese, respectively. They were both thrown out from the gallery. Such was his indomitable spirit.[4]
Lohia wrote his PhD thesis paper on the topic of Salt Taxation in India,[3] focusing on Gandhi's socio-economic theory.
