The present work traces the long-standing claim of Sister Nivedita’s help to J. C. Bose in preparing his books and journal papers. By unearthing new documents and hence new information, it throws light on Nivedita’s education which is vital in discussing her possible role as an assistant or editor of Bose’s publications during their association (1898–1911). It also brings to light various contrasting claims made by previous authors on this issue. After discussing the comments of different personalities, including the protagonists themselves and the biographers of both Bose and Nivedita on this issue, this work offers comments about what may be the underlying explanation behind the purported reasons of Bose’s non-acknowledgement of Nivedita’s help in his works.
