In 1939, when Bhabha came to India on a short vacation, he was forced to stay on as the Second World War broke out. This was, of course, a blessing for the country as he later steered the country’s scientific destiny. The book records Bhabha’s contributions which were in many dimensions and were not just purely scientific.  aQuantum Theory  aPhysisist  aCosmic Rays  aVENKATARAMAN (G)
