#MeghnadSaha can be known as the “Heat-Man” who developed thermal ionization equation that can determine the temperature of the star.
Dr Saha’s theories and his work led to his nomination to the Nobel Prize in Physics for six times until his death.
Dr. Saha is inspiration to all the budding physicists around the world. A role model who pioneered foundational research in astrophysics.
Dr. Saha was the first to teach and train nuclear physicis/ts in the entire country. Dr. Saha was a Dalit. He’s one of our proud sons.
Dr. Saha (1893-1956) didn’t let science escape into esotericism. Thus, he pioneered exploring social relation of science on the society by launching a popular journal “Science and Culture” in 1935. Today is the death anniversary of Dr. Saha who was born in a Namashudra community.
I had delivered a lecture covering some of the above facts at @TIFRScience last year.
