The Marxist historians in the history writing projects (as a statist exercise) ensured that work by historians like Radha Kumud Mookerji was either delegitimized (by labeling them as nationalists) or their memory completely obliterated (by dropping their work from the syllabus). 
As a historian of Ancient India, Radha Kumud Mookerji started his career by joining the newly established National Council of Education, while teaching at the Bengal National College. After 1915, he embarked on a series of tenures at universities in Benares, Mysore, and Lucknow.
His work not only received unequivocal praise from his academic fraternity, for being so detailed despite the vastness of the subject but was also equally popular among students who were then studying in the central/state government-run universities.
He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1957 for his contribution to Public Affairs. He was also sent to Rajya Sabha from 1952- 1958.
His work, beginning in the early 60s, lost state patronage & was ideologically marginalized over a Marxist interpretation of History.

Most of his books are now out of print.
