Jagadish Chandra Bose, who passed
away on 23 November 1937, was an Indian polymath, physicist, biologist,
biophysicist, botanist and archaeologist, and an early writer of science
fiction. He pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics, made
significant contributions to plant science, and laid the foundations of
experimental science in the Indian subcontinent. IEEE named him one of the
fathers of radio science. Bose is considered the father of Bengali science
fiction, and also invented the crescograph, a device for measuring the growth
of plants. A crater on the moon has been named in his honour.
