The Roots and Development of Particle Physics in India[electronic resource] /by Sreerup Raychaudhuri. - 1st ed. 2021. - VIII, 138 p. 4 illus.online resource. - SpringerBriefs in History of Science and Technology,2211-4572. - SpringerBriefs in History of Science and Technology,.

Chapter 1 - Western Science in India -- Chapter 2 - Radioactivity and the Nucleus -- Chapter 3 - Particle Physics Begins in India -- Chapter 4 - Homi Bhabha at Cambridge -- Chapter 5 - The Experiments at Sandakphu -- Chapter 6 - The Growth of Cosmic Ray Research -- Chapter 7 - The Kolar Experiments -- Chapter 8 - P.S. Gill and the Aligarh Group -- Chapter 9 - Particle Physics at Delhi and Madras -- Chapter 10 - Some Observations and Reflections.

This book narrates the history of the initiation and development of elementary particle physics in India and by Indians, focusing on the first half of the twentieth century. The thread is taken up with the introduction of Western science into India in the previous century. The contents are a mixture of science and biographies, interspersed with anecdotes and reflections on the historical and societal connections. The style is generally non-technical, with any technical issues explained and interwoven into the narrative. This book is of interest to scientists, to people with interest in science and the history of science, students curious about the initiation of science in the Indian context and about the famous Indian scientists, as well as administrators who wish to understand the roots of current Indian science, especially in the context of particle physics.
