A Fascinating story of Indian Scientist

1. A Fascinating story of Indian Scientist: Prahalad Chunnilal Vaidy From science to philosophy, the people of India have proved their expertise in every field of work, time and again. As we enter the 76th year of Independence Day, we are eager to share the story of a ‘forgotten’ scientist, who contributed prominently in the field of science and was committed to the freedom movement. Born in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, he was in 9th standard, when his father passed away. His father wrote his last wish on a slate, stating that his kids should pursue college. His father would have been proud knowing that he became an institution-builder. As a founding member of the Indian Association for General Relativity, he played a key role in bringing together a community of Indian scientists working in the field – a stellar line-up that includes names such as C.V.
