ABSTRACT

While India is celebrating the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav (75th year of Independence), the book titled “Jagadish Chandra Bose: The Reluctant Physicist” is a golden tribute to the Indian scientists who made significant contributions to Swadeshi science. The concept of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) was imbibed in their ideologies and practice. Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937) was one of the brightest scientists and institutional builders, who developed multidisciplinary interests in experimental science. He was an experimental scientist and science educator with focused interests in physics, biophysics, plant physiology, and botany. For his experiments he indigenously designed and developed a number of scientific instruments, instead of using imported instruments. This led him to invent several scientific instruments, although he had shown disinterest in patenting those in the western nations. That is a kind of open innovations we are talking about today.
