Publisher's Synopsis

The Scientific Sufi is the most definitive English language biography of Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose, the father of modern science in India. In his time, he came close to, and many believe was robbed of, winning at least two Nobel Prizes, if not one, for his work on wireless communication and the discovery of nervous system in plants.

This biography carefully reconstructs his life, times, work, legacy, childhood, early years, influences and paint an intimate portrait of the father of modern science in India.
