Indira Gandhi on C. V. Raman

“Dr. C.V. Raman was the greatest scientist of modern India and one of the greatest intellects our country has produced in its long history. His mind was like the diamond, which he studied and explained. His life’s work consisted in throwing light upon the nature of lights, and the world honoured him in many ways for the new knowledge which he won for science.”

“He was a great teacher, who believed that learning is not for hoarding but to be shared.He had an unsurpassed enthusiasm for explaining the phenomenon of nature in a manner that the most uninitiated could understand.”
