#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.

Hero of Bahujans not Hindus. Was mentored by his valorous mother Jijabai under the influence of the enlightenment philosopher Tukaram.

Shivaji was anti-Brahminism. The only person who injured Shivaji was a Brahmin, Kulkarni.

His story continues to be manipulated as anti-Muslim. Image This is one sided image propagated by Brahmins to conveniently hide the attack by Bhaskar Krishna Kulkarni on Shivaji Maharaj.

When will Brahmins own up that one of their own made a life attempt on Shivaji? And that Kulkarni was loyal servant of Afzal Khan. Image
