ABSTRACT
One day author received a letter from Sir Chandrasekhar Venkata Raman, the only Nobel Laureate in India, discoverer of the scattering of light with change of frequency, called after him the 'Raman Effect'. He asked author to recommend to him a young, efficient theoretical physicist for an appointment at the Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore, whose president Raman was: preferably a non-British man, author answered that he knew well only the German physicists, he did not wish to have anything to do with them. He received another letter from Raman in which expressed his understanding of author's first argument; but the second difficulty could easily be overcome: The journey and a decent salary would be paid by the Institute. His boat was to call at Cochin and he intended to leave the ship there and travel by rail to Bangalore.
