Description

This book narrates the history of the initiation and development of elementary particle physics in India and by Indians, focusing on the first half of the twentieth century. The thread is taken up with the introduction of Western science into India in the previous century. The contents are a mixture of science and biographies, interspersed with anecdotes and reflections on the historical and societal connections. The style is generally non-technical, with any technical issues explained and interwoven into the narrative. This book is of interest to scientists, to people with interest in science and the history of science, students curious about the initiation of science in the Indian context and about the famous Indian scientists, as well as administrators who wish to understand the roots of current Indian science, especially in the context of particle physics.

Author Biography:

Dr. Sreerup Raychaudhuri is an elementary particle physicist with expertise in the theory of electroweak interactions, especially in the context of colliding-beam machines. He obtained his doctoral degree from the University of Calcutta in 1994 and followed this up by postdoctoral stints at TIFR and CERN. In 1999, he joined the faculty at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, where he taught till 2007. Subsequently, he moved to the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, where he is now a professor in the Department of Theoretical Physics. Apart from his research and teaching, Dr. Raychaudhuri has an enduring interest in history and, in particular, the history of Indian science. He has authored several articles on popular science and the history of science and lectured extensively on these subjects.
