This is the third biography of Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose that I have come across. The first one, of course, is the most famous one by Patrick Geddes titled, The Life and Work of Sir Jagadis C Bose, published in by Longmans in London. This biography was written during Bose’s lifetime by an Englishman, scientist and urban planner. It presents the trials and tribulations of Bose’s life in graphic detail and Indian readers can immediately relate to and are inspired by the goodness of Bose as an individual and his merit as a scientist. That Geddes was himself a great fan of Bose apart from being very observant in noticing in him the streaks of greatness, is very much obvious in his writing.
The second biography that I read was recently published in written by Prof Kunal Ghosh, a former professor of IIT Kanpur, and published by Aleph Book Company. It is titled, Unsung Genius: A Life of Jagadish Chandra Bose. This too is a well-written documentation of Bose’s life that draws attention towards the credits and recognition that Bose deserved but was not given. This book is again a tribute to the great scientist and pioneer who set the trends of Indian science
