| Description | The Collected Scientific Papers of Meghnad Saha was published in 1969 with financial assistance from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. Collection of his other writings written for the lay public proved to be a more formidable task. This has now become possible under a grant-in-aid from the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, to the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Calcutta. He wrote about the social problems that bothered him in journals like Calcutta Review, Modern Review, and so on. A number of Saha's articles appeared in prestigious Bengali monthlies such as Prabasi, Bharatbarsha, Prokriti and Basumati. His writings covered a wide spectrum of subjects, with science and its impact being the main theme. His series on science versus religion provoked fierce controversy at one time. A selection of these articles has been published in Meghnad Rachana Sankalan. In 1933 the Indian Science News Association was formed at Calcutta and the monthly journal Science and Culture started. Saha was then at Allahabad but he was the driving force in its founding. Saha wrote profusely in the pages of Science and Culture voicing his opinion on a variety of subjects— -social implication of science, economic planning, stablishment of scientific, technological institutions, planning of the Indian livers, reform of the calendar. These and other articles and speeches published elsewhere have been put together in this and the forthcoming volumes bringing it to a total of 188 entries. The articles are arranged subjectwise in a chronological order. Volume 1 contains Astronomy and Astrophysics, Spectroscopy, and Nuclear Physics, Cosmic Rays, Nuclear Energy |
