Raman was one man who had bravely spoken against Nehru’s communist model State & had said that it would be disastrous for a country like India

But Nehru who did not wanted to be in bad terms with Raman, due to his popularity awarded him National Professorship & Bharat Ratna

#CVRaman very well knew that Nehru had turned all Science Institutes into a place of sinecure scientists who did little by way of innovation or discovery

He held Nehru responsible for the lack of research in most institutes
