Young Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose
The Empathic Inventor & Scientist
Quick Intro
The True Laboratory Is The mind, Where Behind Illusions We Uncover The Deeper Laws Of Truth
Breakthrough progress under a simmering sense of social pressure is quite difficult — a life of breakthrough achievement while facing down overt racism, is something else entirely. And yet to remain an empathic, humanity-first soul among it all is what truly makes Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, our twelfth-entry in our Young Polymath series, a master of many worth studying.
From physicist to biologist to author to activist, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose is tragically overlooked as one of the greatest thinkers of the previous century. Maintaining the same focus as previous submissions, we ask again — what was he like in his twenties?
