Raghunath Vithal Khedkar (Yadava) (born in Bombay on 16 October 1873 in the family of the maratha Kshatriy concubines) was an Indian surgeon. In 1959, he revised, enlarged, and published a historical work written by his father, Vithal Krishnaji Khedkar: The Divine Heritage of the Yadavas.[1]
Khedkar studied medicine and surgery in the United Kingdom, at Edinburgh and Glasgow. He practised medicine in Newcastle-on-Tyne before returning to India at the start of World War I, and serving as a surgeon in Bombay, Kolhapur, and Nepal.[2] Among the younger Khedkar's honors were membership in London's Society of Tropical Medicine, and Hygiene and the Royal Sanitary Institute.[3]
