Antanas Poška (1903-1992) – Lithuanian traveler, scientist, anthropologist, writer, journalist, Calcutta University honorary doctorate (2014).
1931-1933: At the University of Bombay, Antanas Poška studied anthropology and acquired knowledge of Sanskrit.There, he met the famous Indian (Persian) researcher Jivanji Jamshedji Modi. He accompanied Oxford University professor Aurelius Stein on an expedition to Chinese Turkestan. In 1933, he received a diploma from the University of Bombay for the work "The Aryans, their origin and migrations". Later (in 1934), he participated in an expedition to Baltistan and visited Nepal. Prepared a dissertation. 1933-1936 participated in anthropological expeditions around Southeast Asia, collected data on the Chinese-speaking peoples in the northwest of the Himalayas, visited Burma, the Takla Makan desert, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. In Benares, with the help of local pandits, Antanas Poška deepened his knowledge of Sanskrit and prepared a translation of the Bhagavadgita.
In 1937, he traveled to Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Turkish Kurdistan. In Turkey, Poška was arrested, suspected of being a British spy, imprisoned, and his collected material and translations disappeared.
In 1937, he returned to Lithuania.
In 1945, June 28, he was arrested, imprisoned in the Arkhangelsk region and Komi camps. He worked as a paramedic in Kazakhstan. 1949-1958, he worked in Central Asian local history museums (Petropavlovsk, Osh, Andijan), participated in expeditions. In 1958, September 18, the Criminal Cases Panel of the LTSR AT closed the case of A. Poška, and the traveller returned to Lithuania in 1958. 1960-1969, he led the Lithuanian Esperanto club.
In 1960, with Prof. Tadas Ivanauskas, he travelled to the nature reserve "Tigrų Balka" [idk how to translate it] in Tajikistan. 1965-1966, he hitchhiked to the Esperantists of Leningrad and Moldavia. In 1972, he travelled by motorcycle to the republics of the Caucasus and Transcaucasia. In 1973, he visited the place of exile in Komi, 1976 - Kyrgyzstan.
In the last decade of his life, he managed his rich archive, prepared his books for the press, but the soviet censorship did not let them pass. 1987-1988, he visited Czechoslovakia. In the 1980s, his health deteriorated, and he died in 1992 after a long, serious illness.
