The Republic of Science: Golden Jubilee Vignettes edited by Ranjit Nair
Book Description In free India’s “tryst with destiny”, science was conceived to have a major role. A series of monthly lectures organized by the Centre for Philosophy and Foundations of Science by key contributors to the development of science and technology in India provides an insider’s perspective, complementing historical analyses. The essays in this volume focus attention on the strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures, attainments and expectations of science and technology in the fifty years of the Republic. Dealing with individuals, institutions and initiatives, the essays throw light on the social, cultural and intellectual consequences of India’s tryst with her scientific destiny. Appearing in print as India celebrated its 60th year of freedom, these years remain as fresh and invigorating as ever.
