Today (November 23, 1937) is the Memorial Day of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, the Indian scientist who revealed to the world the fact that plants also have life and wireless broadcasting.
Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was born on November 30, 1859, in Mymensingh, Faridpur District, near Dhaka, present-day Bangladesh. Bose received his early education at St. Xavier High School. He later continued his education in Kolkata, Cambridge and London. In 1885 he joined Presidency College, Kolkata as an adjunct professor of physics. Bose studied most of his discoveries at this college. His wife is the famous social worker Abala Bose. Bose's father was Bhagavan Chandra Bose, a high-ranking official in the British government that ruled India at the time. Yet he remained patriotic. He established several technical schools for students to pursue vocational education. So it is not surprising that his son Jagadish Chandra Bose's patriotism, ability to look at the environment and passion and interest in technology came naturally. And the guidance and cooperation of the father was great support and encouragement to the son.
Bose's father could have enrolled
his son in one of the best primary schools attended by upper-class children.
But instead, he enrolled his son in a school where the children of ordinary poor
and simple people were educated. This allowed Bose to treat
everyone equally, regardless of caste, creed, rich or high. He received his
early education on an equal footing with the children of fishermen, labourers
and various professionals. This allowed him to feel better about
his surroundings. Bose's mother was also a great Indian woman. He taught his
son some important basic biological facts, Indian culture and values through
literature, stories and songs. The guidance of the father and the loving warmth
of the mother helped the son to grow in control and discipline.
At a young age, Bose laid the
foundation for becoming a better scientist in the future with the high
qualities of commitment, courage and tirelessness that belong to scientists.
Karna in the Mahabharata is a character who greatly impressed him. Bose
believes that true success comes from failure. Bose graduated at the age of 19.
He then went to Cambridge and completed his education there in 1884. Bose is an
ICS. He wanted to finish and become a high official in the government. Although
the father had a passion for it, the son wanted to complete his higher studies
and work as a teacher for the benefit of society and the country. While in
London, Bose became interested in botany and zoology. But he studied science
and medicine in B.Sc. In this situation, Bose got in touch with a scientist
named Lord Lore Rele in London. Bose took a keen interest in learning about
plants with the help of his inspiration and guidance.
Jagdish Chandra Bose got a job as
a lecturer in physics at Kolkata State College. But only 2/3 of what was paid
to the English in terms of wages was given. The reason given at the time was
that Indians were backwards in the field of science and therefore they were not
eligible for full pay. But Bose worked to the admiration of the college
administration for their ingenuity. Satisfied, the college administration
ordered Bose to pay his full salary and to pay the outstanding amount for the
time he had already worked. With the proceeds, Bose set up a scientific
laboratory. There he undertook various studies in the fields of botany and
physics. Basically, a physicist studied the abundance of radio waves.
Bose invented the wireless
transmission system long before Marconi. A, however, went unnoticed by the
scientific world. 22 mm. The first 5 mm. Bose invented a device that could
generate electromagnetic waves of wavelengths up to and including quasi-optical
properties. He also found common responses to stimuli of all kinds. Bose is
credited with being the first person in the world to design a machine that
produces microwaves of very low wavelengths. He developed a new photographic
theory by studying the properties of molecules. Bose was one of the pioneering
researchers in computer science. Bose has a special place among the best
scientific researchers/thinkers in the world.
Bose is best known for his two best-selling books. Response in the Living and Non-Living is a book on the nature of living and non-living things. Another book is The Nervous Mechanism of Plants. Through these two books, he demonstrated that heat, cold, sound, and light stimuli affect plants in the same way that they affect humans and other animals. He also posed for an experiment. The toxin bromide was injected into a rat and injected into a plant. Seeing that both the rat and the plant were fighting to the death, the scientific world applauded Bose's research.
In 1915 Bose gave a lecture at
the Royal Society of London on "How plants tolerate external
stimuli." He performed a variety of process demonstrations with the help
of self-designed Indian tools. In 1920, Bose became a senior member of the Royal
Society of London, promoting Indian science. Plants feed on the same things as
us; They, like humans, sleep at night and wake up in the morning. They are also
born and die. He discovered the fact that they have feelings of joy and sorrow
just like us. Jagdish Chandra Bose is not only a great scientific genius; Loved
art and literature. He was closely associated with Nobel Prize-winning Indian
literary sculptor Ravindranath Tagore. His friend was Nivedita, a disciple of
Swami Vivekananda.
He set up a laboratory called the
Bose Institute in Kolkata to facilitate various scientific researches. In 1928,
the Calcutta People's League held an appreciation ceremony for Bose in
recognition of his various scientific achievements, research and discoveries,
especially his interest in plant species. Then he said: “All living things have
the same life; Such is human life; So all beings must practice patience, unity,
and coexistence. The role of human beings in this is immense. People of all
nations must learn to live without hatred and distrust of one another. ”
Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, an
Indian scientist, passed away on November 23, 1937, in Kolkata at the age of 78,
revealing to the world that plants also have life. Jagadish Chandra Bose, who
was the epitome of courage, bravery, patriotism, self-confidence and patience,
made India's fame shine in the world through his great success and great fame
in all his scientific research. One hundred years later, IEEE officially
announced Bose as one of the pioneers of radio science.
