History of Science is a modern discipline. It is prevalent in the west as a regular faculty in the Universities but not so in India. Due to constant pressure from concerned scholars it has at last found place in the University syllabi as a special paper in the History discipline. This is because it does not fetch a faculty position.Full Text

Girish Chandra Bose was born on 29th October, 1853, at the tiny village of Berugram in the district of Burdwan. From early boyhood, he showed a remarkable keenness and desire for knowledge which was greatly encouraged by his father Janaki Prasad Bose. Girish Chandra passed the Entrance Examination from the Hughli Branch School in 1870, FA and BA from the Hughli College in 1873 and 1876. After graduating, he joined Ravenshaw College, Cuttack as a lecturer of Botany. While teaching there, he obtained the MA degree in 1878. In 1877 he married Nirad Mohini Devi, youngest daughter of Peary Charan Mitra of Burdwan. This marriage brought him in close contact with Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar. In 1881 he went to London on a Bengal Government scholarship for higher studies in agriculture. In recognition of his extraordinary academic talent, he was made a life member of the Royal Agricultural Society in 1882 and was elected a Fellow of the Chemical Society of England in 1883. After completing his studies, Girish Chandra travelled to Scotland, France and Italy before returning home in 1884.

The author refreshingly writes on the socio-economic development in India away from the currently fashionable feminist formula. It is an empirical study after 15 years of hard fieldwork done under the able guidance of Bela Duttagupta, the eminent sociologist of Calcutta University. She diligently addresses vital women's issues like human rights, social justice, gender mainstreaming, poverty alleviation and sustainable development. The author rightly says in her preface that equality of women with men is not the real issue with Indian women. The real issues are basically developmental. Even today Indian women hardly have any access to basic facilities for improving their quality of life.
- A Tribute to Swami Vivekananda

The Indian Science Cruiser brings out this special number on Swami Vivekananda as a tribute to him on his 150th birth anniversary. It is a bouquet of fifteen articles on various aspects of his activities from mysticism to music.
Swamiji was basically a prophet of universal humanism and proactive in the field of human welfare. He derived his divine inspiration from the teachings of his Guru Shri Ramakrishna and deep reading of sacred books like the Vedas, Vedanta, Upanishads and Srimad Bhagabad Gita. He could successfully convince the western audience at the Chicago Parliament of Religions in 1893 that all men were particles of God and therefore kindred with each other. To be at the service of the poor was the greatest religious act. This was his message of practical Vedanta. It was not a narrow sectarian Hinduism. It was his devotees far and wide what enabled him to establish the Ramakrishna Mission Order for mankind. This offering covers religion, science, philosophy, education, renaissance thoughts, nationalism, globalism and music.

The impact of Western Culture threw India into the melting pot in the 19th Century. The people were suffering from intellectual bankruptcy and physical subordination and insignificance in relation to the European Culture and Civilization at the initial stage. They were obviously unaware of their past heritage and floated in the Western tide. This was the waning of medieval India’.
