In 1930, anticipating the Nobel Prize, CV #Raman bought two tickets to Stockholm, other for his wife, as early as September, 3 months early.

His conviction was not misplaced; was decorated with the Nobel Prize for Physics that year for his path-breaking work. #BirthAnniversary

Raman was also the first Non white to get Nobel Prize in science. It took merely Rs.200 to make this discovery & now millions of rupees.

University of Cambridge offered him a Professor’s job.

He rejected & later appointed as 1st Indian Director of IISc Bangalore in 1933.

Later he wrote his experience of sitting under Union Jack while recieving the prize. How it led to his breakdown.

During WW2 tried best to bring some scientists to work in #IISc, including Niel Bohr, Heisenberg, Pauli. & Max Born spend some time here.

CV Raman studied Science, but got selected in Indian Financial Service. Was in good poaition. But later returned back to world of science.

When Sarabhai came to India during WWII his guide told him he must work under CV Raman at IISc then only he will consider his work worthy.

And very few knows Raman was doctoral advisor of Vikram Sarabhai.

It was time when Bhabha, Raman & Sarabhai walked the corridors of IISc.

India celebrates National Science Day on 28th Feb. Day when CV Raman discovered the Raman Effect.

Let's remember genius on his birth Anniversary.
