C.V. Raman
Handwritten, signed letter and Lincoln tribute photograph signature on card envelope India Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, FRS, (7 November 1888 - 21 November 1970) was an Indian physicist whose work was influential in the growth of science in India. He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman effect.

Nobel Laureate C.V. Raman's Work on Light Scattering
C.V. Raman, the founder of Raman spectroscopy, was the first Asian to receive the Nobel Prize in physics. How physics emerged as an academic discipline in India can be illustrated with his life story: His initial research in acoustics and optics brought him international reputation. However, the discovery of the Raman effect in 1928 and subsequently the Nobel Prize for physics in 1930 put him in the list of the "immortal ones". The present work shows the details of his finding and its reception by the western scientific community. Employing the Nobel Committee's documents the author explores why the prize was not shared with his co-worker or with a competing group of Russian physicists. Rama...

Journey Into Light
The name of Raman is familiar to science not only through the effect that bears his name, but also due to derivative names such as stimulated Raman scattering and Raman laser. However, other than that he won the Nobel Prize, little is generally know about the man himself. But the story is fascinating. Raman fiercely cherished his independence and rejected government support for his research. A sharp critic of many government policies, he was often misunderstood and maligned, though his commitment to science and to its growth in India never wavered. Venkataraman's account deals with all these aspects of Raman's life and work, besides placing them in a proper perspective vis-a-vis the overall Indian scene. Numerous quotations help capture the mood and excitement of those times. The book is not only a lively biography of a colorful personality, but also required reading for anyone with a serious interest in and concern for Indian science.
