C. V. Raman’s Student Sukumar Chandra Sirkar:Life and Science

Rajinder Singh, a well-established historian of science started his journey in this field by working on his Ph D thesis: ‘Nobel Laureate CV Raman’s work on Light Scattering’. Only the last two decades, he has published two dozen books on history of science dealing with Indian scientists, mostly belonging to Calcutta School. Rajinder has a knack of digging into archives in India and abroad to discover treasure troves of history of Indian science. This volume is dedicated to the life and science of one of Raman’s brilliant students, Sukumar Chandra Sirkar (SCS), who was involved, along with K. S. Krishnan, in the experiments which led to the discovery of Raman Effect.
