Thiruvananthapuram: Secretary of the National Organizing Vijnana Jayant Sahasrabudhe, who delivered Raman Lecture Sir CV here on Sunday, stressed the need for a state to thoroughly recognize the role of scientists who work against the opportunities forced for two centuries of English rules that focus on not nationalizing more India from colonizing it.
While delivering a study at the Biotechnology Center of Rajiv Gandhi in the city, he said that the history has mostly ignored the contribution of scientists to the struggle for freedom since the battle of 1757 Plasey who gave British decisive victory.
“As many as knowledge and truth seekers, the scientists tried to regain Indian identity from the hands of the invaders,” Sahasrabudhe said in his speech about the organized ‘struggle for freedom and science’ on the opportunity of the 133th legendary physicist Dr.
CV Raman.
He quoted how the patriotic spirit was exhibited by some scientists at the Imperial India to increase the spirit of the nationalist movement.
For example, the British regime rejected Jagadish Chandra Bose a teaching job at the Presidency College of Calcutta in 1884 after graduating from the University of Cambridge in England, encouraging young people to continue protests three years.
Giving up on pressure, administration finally absorbed Bose as a faculty in 1887, eliminating a two-level payment scale for higher education teachers based on their Christmas.
“I would say this is the first case of ‘Satyagraha’, which happened three decades before Mahatma Gandhi used it.
