Documentary on Amal Kumar Raychaudhuri, the renowned theoretical physicist from Kolkata

I'm ashamed of not having known of him.

I hope that more people will see this documentary now that Roger Penrose has won the Nobel prize.

In India it's a custom that we are recognized when we are recognised by the foreigners. Truly spoken out by sir Raychaudhuri.

I'm blessed to have been his student from 1967 to 1972. My respectful regards to the greatest teacher I've seen.

As soon as I heard about the Nobel prize, I asked "Why Raychoudhuri is not getting the prize?" only later found out that he passed in 2005. How sad that both Raychoudhuri and Hawking didn't live to share the prize with Penrose.

RIP Professor Raychaudhuri... legends don't need awards to be recognized..

In our country, people and media are so obsessed with bollywood that the real heroes remain unnoticed.

Why mostly great scientists are also great human beings? His smile is so genuine.

Dear Indians...In era of globalisation do remember to respect a common man, and never judge a man by dressing style, pronunciation and do proud of your culture -history and incorporate them into yourself.. Never copy!

Richard Feynman of India, only unsung and unrecognised in this blessed country.

আমি যখন ক্লাস এইট বা নাইনে পড়ি বাবার কাছে শুনেছি ওঁকে " চলন্ত ফিসিক্স " বলা হয়। আজ আমার বাবা নেই। আজ এত বয়সে মনে হচ্ছে এঁকে কেন চাক্ষুষ করিনি, কেন দূর থেকে প্রণাম করিনি, কেন এতো দেরি করলাম!!

অনেক দিন পর অাপনাকে উত্তর দিচ্ছি, তাই প্রথমেই মাফ চেয়ে নিচ্ছি। অমিতাভ বাবু এখন কলকাতা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে 'পালিত' অধ্যাপক পদে অাসীন।স্নাতকোত্তর পড়বার সময় আমার সৌভাগ্য হয়েছিল রায়চৌধুরী সমীকরণ শিখবার আর এখন গবেষণার কাজে অনিবার্য ভাবে এসে পড়ে সেই সমীকরণ। ওনার কাজ আমাদের কাছে বিরাট inspiration!

If he immigrated to UK or USA, the world would have known about him.

I can remember one incident, heard from one of my friend. He was a student of Prof. Roychaudhury at Presidency college. He once went to his house and knocked the door. One lady opened the door , then he asked if there is Prof. Roychaudhury? The lady, who turned out as his elder sister, replied with pleasant smile that which Prof. Roychaudhury you want, actually here , in our house everyone is Prof.Roychaudhury, then he explained more clearly, and then sister called Prof. Roychaudhury by his nick name. Amitabha Roychaudhury is his nephew also a reputed Professor of Physics.

It is a matter of utmost shame that this genius got no recognition for his contribution. But our useless politicians get full time care despite the fact that they hardly contribute towards the society and loot taxpayer's money. People like Mr. Raychaudhari must be our role model, we should aspire to become like him in our respective fields, JNU chaps are waste of India.

He deserves more and more respect and popularity .. Shame on us ..we didn't recognise a jewel and a legend ..we even didn't listen his name ..we have to accept it ..if he would born in Germany or USA ...he would have won Nobel prize ..

True her wife said... Until he was not recognized in vestern country he was not known in india.. I think its costume in our country that when other country pray you then you are great... It's hurting... Leave others even me came to know about him after Physics Nobel Prize in 2020

I as a student studying physics, promise I shall carry forward the legacy of the professor and look forward to contribute to the science...Thank you for inspiring me sir

this man is greater than amitav bacchhan, rishi kapoor

He is like Rishis of our Upanishad, full of wisdom... simple, noble man... great to hear about him... thanks for the video...
