The year 2008 marks the 150th birth anniversary of Sir Jagadish
Chandra Bose who, at a relatively young age, established himself
among the ranks of European scientists during the heyday of
colonial rule in India. He was one of those great Indian scientists
who helped to introduce western science into India. A physicist, a
plant electrophysiologist and one of the first few biophysicists in
the world, Sir J C Bose was easily 60 years ahead of his time and
much of his research that was ignored during his lifetime is now
entering the mainstream. As the inventor of millimeter waves and
their generation, transmission and reception, and the first to make
a solid state diode, he was the first scientist who convincingly
demonstrated that plants possess a nervous system of their own and
"feel" pain. J C Bose later spent his life's savings to set up the
Institute which carries his name in Calcutta and Darjeeling.This
book covers Bose's life in colonial India, including the general
patriotic environment that pervaded at the time and how he became
one of the flag bearers of the Bengal Renaissance. It also examines
the scientific achievements of this polymath and his contributions
to physics and plant electrophysiology, while highlighting his
philosophy of life.
