Google Celebrates Pakistan born Nobel-Prize Winning Biochemist Har Gobind Khorana

[Robinhood Pandey]

May Pakistan be blessed with many more Khurrana's like him

Why the bloody hell report calls him Indian born. They should have called him Pakistan born or Brtish raj ruled or pre partition subcontinent born scientist. He had gotten his masters degree in chemistry form PU

Anyways interesting stuff:

"He started his education at a village school that met under a tree and quickly demonstrated an aptitude for science, tempered with humility. He received a scholarship to study chemistry at Punjab University in Lahore, but he was too shy to attend the mandatory admissions interview and considered majoring in English instead.

The admissions committee was still impressed enough with Khorana’s application that they enrolled him anyway. He went on to earn undergraduate and master’s degrees in chemistry at Punjab University, followed by a doctorate in organic chemistry at the University of Liverpool in England."

Glad to know he is a punjab university lahore graduate. At one time PU was a primary hub of higher education offering the best standards of higher studies in subcontinent. i wish PU, though still a respected institution, again rises back to its old glory

You don't have proof, man

Second, Muslims do not belong to Pakistan. More than pakistan, Muslims live in India.

I question that.

Show me that more Muslims live in India than in Pakistan.

Pakistan has more Muslims than India
Published: January 24, 2011

NEW YORK: In his article titled “Muslim future in India” (January 23), Khaled Ahmed claims that India “has the second largest Muslim population in the world”. This is inaccurate. The US demographic survey, arguably the best non-national census-based estimator of populations, estimates Muslims in Pakistan to be about 30-40 million more than in India.

One of my professors, Alison Busch (who had just returned from research in India), once tried to pass this statistic off in class, but I immediately called her out on it. She was very taken aback, but then went and did research and in the next class she made it clear to the class that by almost all non-partisan estimates, Pakistan has more Muslims than India. To this day, I have a special rapport with Professor Busch, a testament to her quest for unadulterated truth (despite her soft spot for India). It is therefore all-the-more shocking that a Pakistani writer would present such a statistical assertion to the readers of your otherwise excellent paper.

Now go cry me a river.

ok, good try telling US govt that he was a pakistani.

"The University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Government of India (DBT Department of Biotechnology), and the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum, in 2007, created the Khorana Program, jointly. The mission of the Khorana Program is to build a seamless community of scientists, industrialists, and social entrepreneurs in the United States and India."

Just Indians desperately trying to claim everything in South Asia, nothing more... or are you seriously trying to say that a man born under British administration, then lived briefly in Pakistan before moving to the US for most of his life has any link whatsoever with India?

I accept he might consider himself American, but to call him Indian is just plain ridiculous.

please show me where I called him an Indian.

please show me where I called him an Indian.

Then what what relevance was there to posting about this specific scholarship and highlighting all Indian parts?

That was for your other compatriots who claimed he is a pakistani.

I wonder who will be a first Pakistani Muslim to will a nobel in hard sciences . We have two Pakistan( then British India) Born Hindus( Har Gobind Khurana and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar ) and a Pakistani Ahmadi done so already in hard sciences when they together make less than 3 percent of the populations. Good on them!!.

He took US citizenship in 1966.He briefly returned to stay in India in 1949 after his post doctoral in England. He definitely wasn't carrying pakistani passport till 1966. He never set foot in Pakistan after it creation in 1947, but he did come to India. Now unless you can prove that he was carrying pakistani or any other passport other than Indian, there is no point in continuing with useless arguments.

"After a brief period in India in the fall of 1949, Khorana returned to England where he obtained a fellowship to work with Dr. (now Professor) G. W. Kenner and Professor (now Lord) A. R. Todd. He stayed in Cambridge from 1950 till 1952."

please show me where I called him an Indian.

And why shouldn't you call him Indian?

He briefly returned to stay in India in 1949 after his post doctoral in England.

.No body can beat you guys in art of fabrication.Here are some facts which reveal that he came to Lahore in 1949.I don't know whether Lahore was part of India till 1949.As per Wikipedia!!!

"During a brief period in 1949, he was unable to find a job in his original home area in the Punjab, which was in Pakistan by that time.[10] He returned to England on a fellowship to work with George Wallace Kenner and Alexander R. Todd on peptides and nucleotides.[17] He stayed in Cambridge from 1950 until 1952.He moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, with his family in 1952"

Wikipedia took this part from Mr Khorana ,s autobiography.You will find this part along with his country of birth missing in almost all Indian newspapers and books.The reason you now very well

Even according to a newspaper ,

When Khorana grew up and attended college in the US, he was able to gain scholarships and obtain a doctorate in organic chemistry by 1948, when he was 26 years old.
