Remembering a great scientist

Today is the 79th death anniversary of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, the pioneer of radio invention. 

Although Italian scientist Guglielmo Marconi is known for the accomplishment, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was the first scientist who discovered the 5 mm wavelength and the technique to send and receive it. He was also the first scientist to invent the instrument to detect plant growth and response to stimulation.

Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose invented the diode (Integrated Circuit I C) used in computers, the TV antenna and seven out of eleven major radio parts. 

We request our Honorable Prime Minister to establish a science and technology university after the name of Sir J C Bose at his ancestral home at Rarikhal in Munshigonj. We pray for the eternal peace of his departed soul.
