India
is celebrating 75 years of its Independence (Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav). The book
‘Descendants of Kaṇāda’, is an attempt to celebrate the lives of
our scientists who paved the way for our intellectual and scientific growth.
Many of them have been well-recognized for their contributions while some
remained unsung. An important facet of their lives is that besides being
extraordinary in their research, they have been excellent students and
teachers. Our choice of scientists was simple; those who devoted their lives to
promoting the culture of science, not just publishing scores of scientific
articles in journals of repute. It has been a common observation that ineffective
communication with society and a lack of interest in historical accounts among
young scientists are major hurdles to the popularization of science in India,
which is uncalled for, history allows us to put things in perspective. The book
is a compilation of biosketches of some of those who worked with immense
dedication and practiced science as Dharma.
