This account deals with the progress of Einstein's general relativity (GR) theory first published in 1915. It will discuss the 'bending of light' experiment planned and executed by Eddington in 1919 and then concentrate on the development of GR in India. For, it will be argued that despite the reputation of GR as an obtuse theory it did find fertile soil to grow in India. This account will go as far as the time of India's independence.
