Book Synopsis A Masterful Spirit by : Indira Chowdhury

Download or read book A Masterful Spirit written by Indira Chowdhury. This book was released on 2010-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientist, citizen, artist-the Renaissance man of India Homi Jehangir Bhabha, one of India's outstanding scientists, shouldered the beginnings of India's nuclear programme. He was the first chairman of India's Atomic Energy Commission, and the builder of two of India's most significant scientific institutions-the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and the Atomic Energy Establishment, renamed Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in 1966. A Masterful Spirit presents the life and achievements of the man through previously unpublished letters, and photographs and paintings, and the recollections of his family, friends, colleagues and students. Designed to convey the flavour of Bhabha's life and times, this book tells the inspiring story of a man whom Sir C.V. Raman described as 'the modern equivalent of Leonardo da Vinci'. It acquaints us with the many facets of Bhabha's personality: physicist, institution-builder, concerned citizen, artist, connoisseur of the arts, designer of gardens and, above all, a charismatic and compassionate human being.

Bhabha delivered the 2010 Hegel lecture, evoking the spirit of Hegel in an attempt to understand contemporary issues of ethical witness, historical memory and the rights and representations of minorities in the cultural sphere. Who is our neighbour today? What does hospitality mean for our times? Why is the recognition of others such an agonizing encounter with the alterity of the self?The lecture examplifies how the “Third Space” - one of the key theories of Postcolonialism - helps us to establish a new understanding of cosmopolitanism and hospitality in a globalized world, based on the right of difference in equality.

Book Synopsis Growing the Tree of Science by : Indira Chowdhury

Download or read book Growing the Tree of Science written by Indira Chowdhury. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a premier institute of science come into being? How does it foster a culture promoting free thinking and original research? What impact do the policies of a newly independent nation have on the way it functions? Exploring such themes and analysing the dissonances between institutional records and individual recollections, this book narrates the unique history of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai. Acutely aware that a scientific temper had not been nurtured in colonial India, Cambridge-trained physicist Homi Bhabha, who later came to be known as the architect of India's atomic energy programme, wished to plant the tree of science on Indian soil. Thus was born TIFR on 19 December 1945. What followed were years of dynamic growth and struggle during which some of the best minds from across the world worked as well as taught at the institute. Using both archival documents and detailed interviews, Growing the Tree of Science blends history and memory to reinterpret institutional legacy by moving beyond Bhabha's individual efforts and bringing to light the role of younger scientists during the formative years of TIFR. In the process emerges a fascinating account in which personal connections, novel forms of philanthropy, art and architecture, and international training networks, all come together in creating a vibrant culture of science at TIFR.
