It's fascinating that three of the most important developments in Indian science happened not in a laboratory or lecture hall, but in the most unlikely of places, on board a ship on an ocean voyage. The first was in 1893, on a voyage from Yokohama to Vancouver, when Swami Vivekananda met Jamsetji Tata & inspired him to create an institute that merged the humanism of the east with the science and Technology of the west. That's how the Indian Institute of Science started. In 1930, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar won a scholarship to study at Cambridge & while aboard the ship to England did the bulk of the work on the Chandrashekhar Limit for stars, for which he would later be awarded a Nobel Prize. This was, amazingly, before his 20th birthday. And in 1921, 9 years earlier, CV Raman, returning home from Oxford on a sea voyage was dazzled by the deep blue of the Mediterranean and decided to study the scattering of Light. The 'Raman Effect' won him a Nobel Prize in 1930. Raman was so confident of getting the Nobel Prize after missing out in 1928 and 1929 that he booked his ocean voyage tickets to Sweden months before he knew he had won. 137th birth anniversary of CV Raman today.

The Raman effect is the change in the wavelength of light that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules. It was named after Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman who was born #OnThisDay, 7 November 1888. The Raman effect is used to analyse different types of material.

Washington Post calls it a “mystery,” but the truth is right there in the soil and water. Fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides are poisoning our food chain and seeping into the water supply—causing cancers even in children who’ve never set foot on a farm.

Indian twitter is lit today! 🪔

Indian rangoli talent is truly next level 💖Staff at the @iitbombay guest house reception created this amazing #Diwali rangoli over 2 days!👏🏼👏🏼

Happy Diwali 🙏🏼🪔 This is wonderful effort in inclusion by @sesamestreet, but for the 2nd year in a row they’ve inaccurately depicted a full moon in the sky. Diwali is celebrated on a no moon night. The significance of lighting diyas to light up a dark no moon night is completely lost!

Happy Diwali 🪔 🪔 🪔

Spot on! So much confusion caused by Diwali straddling 2 days this year - Oct 20th and 21st 😄 #Diwali2025
