📝Letter from a grandfather to a grandson

The Quantum Indians

Following this documentary, I (Biswajit Basu) have written to Prithvi (grandson) as follows:

Prithvi.....I want you to see this entire video properly and ponder over it.  It is about Satyen Bose, CV Raman and Meghnad Saha. Bose and Saha were Bengalis and Raman did his research leading to the Nobel Prize in Calcutta.  Think of the legacy they leave behind and that you are so close to those of Saha and of  Bose with whom you share a surname (Basu and Bose are the anglicised form of Bosu).

One of the anchors, Mr Partha Ghosh (with the white goatee) is Sudeshna auntie's own uncle (her father's brother) and also a great physics scientist of today.

You are of their lineage and thus a part of their great legacy. Your birth has brought you so close to these great men and even more greats like Subhas Chandra Bose (his ancestral house is still in Changripota which is now called Subhasgram which is our ancestral village) and to Swami Vivekananda (Narendra Dutta) who was related to my step grandmother).

Do something good in life.  You are so close to these great people and must live up to their legacy.  Remember that in whatever you do.  Study hard, be honest and moral and you will automatically live a good life.
