Remembering C.V. Raman

[Cherokee]

Seen a lot of Sharing of Amitabh's and SRK's pics on their B'days. Sadly No mention of today being the B'day of Sir C.V Raman , The only Nobel Laureate in Any scientific domain who studied and Lived in India.

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Rāman, FRS,(7 November 1888 – 21 November 1970) was an Indian physicist whose work was influential in the growth of science in India. He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman effect.

His nephew also won a nobel prize in physics. I guess it runs in their family.

Unfortunately, unlike Tagore he did not receive much attention for winning the prize

yep you are right . even his son . Read more about Venkatraman Radhakrishnan , Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar . Sad the way they are sidelined ,.
