Jagadish Chandra Bose REVIEW! #1481

Name of the book – Jagadish Chandra Bose: The Reluctant Physicist

Name of the author – Sudipto Das 

Step into the enigmatic world of Sir J.C. Bose, a figure shrouded in mystery and rediscovered brilliance. Long overlooked, Bose’s contributions span diverse fields, from radio communication to plant neurobiology, each revelation casting him anew as a pioneer far ahead of his time. Amidst India’s tumultuous past, Bose’s life intertwines with luminaries like Swami Vivekananda and Rabindranath Tagore, creating a tapestry of unconventional relationships. In this captivating narrative, author and TEDx speaker Sudipto Das embarks on a quest to unravel the complexities of Bose’s life, demystifying the enigmatic figure and shedding light on his enduring legacy.

The book is full of details and evidence and uses different media such as photographs, poetry, and newspaper clippings to tell the story. One of my favorite things about this book is the narrative style which blurs the boundaries between reality and drama. It is not easy reading, especially if you don’t have a good grasp of history and science.

Set in the British Raj, this book highlights the contrast between how the British colonizers treated Bose and other scientists like Einstein. I have to say that the stories about his life, along with some interesting interactions with some interesting people, are well woven together. Whether you are a history student, a science lover, or just want to know the untold stories behind remarkable people, this book will captivate you and inspire you.
