Dr K. Rangdhama Rao (1898-1972) was a professor of spectroscopy from Andhra Pradesh. He is not directly related to Aligarh but somebody editing the Wikipedia page has recorded him has the doctoral advisor of Professor R.K.Asundi who was at AMU. Professor Rao was not Professor Asundi's supervisor, in all probability. The confusion might have occurred because of a lecture by later. On 30th of March 1980 Professor Asundi gave the 1979 K.Rangdhama Rao Memorial Lecture at Andhra University, Waltair. The lecture is available on the net in PDF form. In this lecture Professor Asundi had many appreciative things to say about Professor Rao. Dr Asundi was working at the Richardson Laboratory of Kings' College when Dr Rao visited this lab to further his own research interests. In his visit he explained some things to Dr Asundi. This interaction is fondly remembered by Dr Asundi in his above mentioned memorial lecture and claims honorary sort of studentship of Professor Rao. That is all.
The question still remains open as to who was Dr Asundi's supervisor at Kings' College.
