Meghnad saha

These are the stories of six Indian scientists who made important contributions to the field of science and were nominated for the Nobel Prize.

Discover a compilation of 14 Indian scientists who have achieved global recognition, making significant contributions that have improved our lives. Take a moment to appreciate these extraordinary minds who have simplified and enhanced various aspects of human existence.

Did you know that Meghnad Saha was never awarded the Prize despite seven nominations? Or that SN Bose missed it even after five consecutive nominations? #ForgottenHeroes #IndiansInScience

Meghnad Saha's thermal ionisation theory is considered ‘as one of the ten outstanding discoveries of astronomy and astrophysics since the discovery of the telescope, in 1608, by Galileo’

“I can truly say that [but] for Dr. Bhatnagar you could not have seen today the chain of national laboratories”, once said Nehru about the ‘Father of India’s Research Laboratories’. He was not wrong.

One of the foundations of quantum mechanics is Bose-Einstein statistics. And as you must have noted, the Kolkata physicist’s name comes first — Einstein himself acknowledged that Bose’s was the larger contribution. #ForgottenHero #Science

Arguably world’s greatest scientist, Einstein’s theories catapulted him to global fame in an era that coincided with the ‘golden age’ of Indian science.
