NOBEL LAUREATE C V RAMAN & THE STUDY OF SCATTERING OF LIGHT
“A voyage to Europe in the summer of 1921 gave me the first opportunity of observing the wonderful blue opalescence of the Mediterranean Sea. It seemed not unlikely that the phenomenon owed its origin to the scattering of sunlight by the molecules of the water. To test this explanation, it appeared desirable to ascertain the laws governing the diffusion of light in liquids, and experiments with this object were started immediately on my return to Calcutta in September, 1921. It soon became evident, however, that the subject possessed a significance extending far beyond the special purpose for which the work was undertaken, and that it offered unlimited scope for research. It seemed indeed that the study of light-scattering might carry one into the deepest problems of physics and chemistry, and it was this belief which led to the subject becoming the main theme of our activities at Calcutta from that time onwards.”
The renowned physicist Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman founded the Indian Journal of Physics, sponsored the establishment of the Indian Academy of Sciences and was awarded the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for "for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him." In his Nobel Prize lecture he gave an insight into how his research began.

André Malraux was a French
adventurer, award-winning author, statesman and known for his interest in
archaeology. He came to India after his father's death and traveled extensively
through Indochina and China. He was on friendly terms with Pt. Jawaharlal
Nehru. Indians will recall that during India's ordeal André Malraux made a
public declaration stating that he was willing to go and fight for Bangladesh.
Three thousand Frenchmen, among whom senior officers, then immediately proposed
to follow his example. The film narrates the life of André Malraux and his
relation with India through interviews, images of old archaeological items and
other old footage.
