At the end of the 19th century, when extensive research was being conducted in advanced laboratories in Europe and America, Jagadish Chandra Bose was fighting alone for innovation in India's science-desert. The path on which we are slowly beginning to walk today in scientific discovery was created by Jagadish Chandra through half a century of hard dedication.
At the end of 1909, when Guglielmo Marconi of Italy and Karl Ferdinand Braun of Germany were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, the whole world knew that the wireless communication system had been invented. However, Bengali scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose started fundamental research on radio waves much earlier than Marconi. He was the first in the world to successfully produce artificial microwave in 1895. Along with revolutionary discoveries in physics, Jagadish Chandra initiated research on sensitivity. He was the first to experimentally prove that plants also respond to stimulus.
Jagadish Chandra, a seeker of multifaceted science, had earned appropriate recognition in the assembly of world scientists. In 1927, London's Daily Express mentioned him as equal to Galileo and Newton. According to Albert Einstein, 'Jagadish Chandra has provided so much information for the advancement of science that monuments should be erected for any one of his contributions.'
