RAMAN VS SAHA: Indian Science's First 'Clash of Civilisations'
This episode looks at two of the stalwarts of colonial-era scientists: CV Raman and Meghnad Saha. While Raman - the first and only Indian physics Nobel Laureate - is better known, Meghnad Saha came from a very different background that probably motivated his attitude towards using science for the larger public good. This was different from Raman, who was largely apolitical, and saw science in its purest sense of unravelling the mysteries of the universe.
These scientists crossed paths in Calcutta but eventually, distraught by the politics of the place, Raman moved to Bangalore - first to the Indian Institute of Science and eventually setting up his own Raman Research Institute.
Hosts: Sobhana K Nair and Jacob Koshy
