Documentary on Amal Kumar Raychaudhuri, the renowned theoretical physicist from Kolkata 

I just feel how simply Indian scientists are simply kept un observed and unappreciated

True her wife said... Until he was not recognized in vestern country he was not known in india.. I think its costume in our country that when other country pray you then you are great... It's hurting... Leave others even me came to know about him after Physics Nobel Prize in 2020

Till we are mentally colonized

Yes

@@kaliprasannapal876 it's not that we are still consider westerners great. Though you have to be thankful for their contribution but the problem is these geniuses can't be recognised because social media ,TV, newspaper never even bothers about scientific community. Hardly seen some achievement mentioned. In country where big boss,badshah,shitty movies, illogical new songs gain popularity how will people get time to even think about them. Majority will be busy in debating whether this celebrity was having affair or whether this celebrity was product of nepotism. People chase for jobs and get an MBA degree, earning in lakhs. Some go for upsc and get an IAS tag. Rarely people have mindset to study PhD or higher studies and get into research. Many youths are part of some bajrang Dal. Some youth become maulana and devote whole life to Islam,some become priest and some go to gurukul thinking ancient knowledge was far better than current one. Problem is if one cracks IIT or aiims they are not interested in research rather in making money. And this shitty government don't care about scientific development rather focuses only on winning the politics. And even if you do research you will not get a decent amount of salary. It's the biggest demotivation for youths. And doing mba from IIM gives you good amount of money. What may one choose? Curiosity or money?

Tamar Dupu but problem is, we Indian do not have the capability to recognize big personality..

Don't worry about it, it's the same everywhere.

Isn't it good?? We are recognized by some atleast! Otherwise we wouldn't be recognized at all?? Indian people often fail to provide the value as much as they should to some eminent people from india who deserve! But somepeople from the west do they atleast recognize our talent!! ..

Exactly

LoL you guys depends on weak institutions for recognition that's the problem don't blame others for your mediocre mindsets better work on the betterment of your own society first.

@@cortexauth4094 If you're not into physics, you should read "Business Today" to know how good Startups and Placements are.

I'm similarly guilty.

what are u doing now and where he lived in kolkata do u know?

me too! but from 66 to 69 (BSc days) only.

Because they got pleasure of problem solving.

You got it wrong man, great people are great scientists

Because They are like Us #Simple Not like The glamorous world ( Tiger shroff )

because ,,,in this long journey they understands the meaning of life

@@tonmoydeka7319 your ans is right on point which rarely people think

He wouldn't have gotten it though.Hawking could have got it though

@@aryanbista747 The Nobel prize was awarded based on Penrose's '65 papers, not he '70 papers with Hawking.

Raychaudhuri, Hawking,Penrose!! What a great moment it would have been

plese gives such tipe of vedo .

@hello S You don't have to sure about that..

I think @mr. Adhipmitra forgot to put the blessed word into an air quote! Hahaha!

@hello S i guess he means blessed with this person

Legend are also not recognised by indians either... Like actors and cricketers

AGREED!!

That is not to mention . It's quite obvious

Come on Man... Don't compare legendary Theoretical Physicists with shitty bollywood actors...

Isn't that quite obvious...

Why are you even tempted to compare this theoretical physicist with the show business people? He is now even more relevant in light of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics. It should be clear that while people like tailors and even barbers become celebrities in New Delhi and the show business people become celebrities in Bombay, in Bengal and eastern India in general, and in Calcutta in particular, the famous academicians become celebrities and rightly so.

@@randomstuff9960 yes we should not compare but they are not shitty as today's Bollywood

Ananya Shukla absolutely well said!!!

No..he did..Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawkin praised him profusely..it is his countrymen who failed to recognize him!

That’s what Indian people wanted so that’s how Indian system works

You forgot to mention ABVP chaps, guess that was intentional huh

Utmost shame that those JNU chaps don't recognize our own pushpak viman and elephant head human body plastic surgery.

Yt recommending these video after 7 yrs.❤

A great Professor and Scientist, true inspiration for all of us

Slightly not true as well. When india constantly appreciate people from the bollywood do we then say such lines ? do we use these sentences?? where do these lines go then? "We prefer to appreciate and bolster west" NO.. THE problem is people often fail to recognize a good talent..whether be it someone from the west or asia or africa.. but when we do recognize we recognize a great talent regardless where they came from and there is no problem in it! .. And a great talent always deserves to be recognized regardless of their race background and ethnicity.. And look at us today! We are everywhere on earth! Why?? Bcuz we are recognized! By every place and kind of people on earth.. And also don't forget that this genuis did not receive any recognition from india at all! But the GREAT MINDS SUCH AS stephen Hawkins and Penrose DID.

Even after 70+ years, our mind is not yet free from the effects of slavery!!

@@12440jayjay 👍👍👍

@@kanishkagoswami6261 You are absolutely correct in your way of approach. What you want to put forward is also very true. A classic example of your viewpoint can be Nikola Tesla....western scientist, one of the greatest insight, yet he did not receive the recognition he deserved. Even, there was none present at his bed-side during his death...this was the fate of this genius! How tragic! Even, Stephen Hawking not getting the Nobel Prize....it didn't demean Hawking rather the Nobel Committee themselves should have hanged their heads on shame for not giving him the prize. It is utterly disgraceful for the society at large, not to value the true gems. But my point of telling was only that we recognise the talents of the son of the soil, when it is certified and approved by the foreign.

That time that person also realised that Prof.Raychaidhury, the giant figure in Physics could have a childhood and he too had a nick name and atleast someone is there to call him by that name!

I have also heard the exact same story from my English teacher..While he was studying in presidency college ,he heard this from his college mate.....

@@punishersdeadlydingdong4190 I heard this from Mr.A. Mukherjee , a fortunate student of Prof.Roychaudhury in undergraduate level.

;;nnnn;;bn;;;nm;

Heard this story from one of his students in Presidency College.

That's the point. Our own people are ignorant and downplay the importance of our scientists and artists.

@@any2xml media lay emphasis on politics and earn money

Why padam prize to such people.. we love sachin tendulkar.. he is god.. we love saif ali, aamir taimur ... And if course I question the present government why they are not recognising sunny leone and his brother honey singh contribution in making India.

yes wired is the word

@@akashgaur131 ha ha ha.

chill no need to call aib comedians useless. some people like their jokes and they follow aib.

@6iveksah the stupidities are within us. We do not appreciate anything else other than physical glamour and money. There are many distinguished and notary geniuses in our time who get little to no recognition from us. We give a little too importance to things and people who do not deserve them

Right you are

@@rajratnaadsul9387 air 65 orz orz

Do you think there's much less celebrities in US and Europe?

Same here bro.

🎉

What are currently doing brother?

Nice I believe you 👍

Bruh which collage are U studying astro physics ?

same here

Couldn't have said it better

Science and scientist not only for country, they are for mankind development

What technology?

Oh, so nice!

Yes definitely, in an academic sense!

Wish I could have said that too, but that's not true. For academics it is still good, but politics has killed the atmosphere of nurturing creative minds and virtue of diligence long back. Hope, it will get back on track some day again.

@@PraveenKumar-pk1xj WB & TN I know.

West Bengal was where once academic mind flourished until the communism entered the picture!

Selfmade?

Don't feel sorry Sir. The Strong foundations India has in Theoretical Knowledge is bcoz of Bengalis who work in Indian Institutes instead of Preferring to work some where else.

Hope you're still doing research now

Ma'am you are so lucky to be one the few lucky people to be his direct students . All students of Physics of all generations would love to be taught Physics by himself in the great classrooms of Presidency College. Teachers like him actually raised Presidency to its rarest orbit of dignity and fame.

Heh, they'll rather fund questionable business start-ups that any experienced person will recognize to be sure to fail and just fuel some bubble.

what are you doing now?. And were you an ex student of Presidency college?

@@rrrabad1234 No. I am from Humanities. PG on English and Comparative Phililogy. But I ha an opportunity to witness and cherish the Savant's wisdom in front of my great teacher Dr.Sukumar Sen, D.litt. Prof.Bose was the bossom friend of my great teacher whom I met at my teacher's residence with his disciples.

@@debasisbhowmick9914 No I wanted to know whether you were an alumni of presidency or not. Also I am now a student of BA English honours under BU. So wanted to know whether CU is good for PG english or not? Also the career options of english honours. What are you doing now? Job or going for phd?

Indians specifically Bengalees never encouraged money as prime factor of life, rather than acquiring of knowledge and study are encouraged today also.

what r u doing?

The fact he's from India and nobody knows him
