> Modern microwave equipment -- waveguides, horns, the works -- was invented by a Bengali named Bose before 1900. I'll be honest, I initially downvoted your comment as a kneejerk reaction, since I am so weary of seeing Hindutva activists claim that ancient India had nuclear weapons and airplanes. I’m sorry for that, because you are right indeed. The Bose in question is Jagadish Chandra Bose [0], and he seems to have been a remarkable man indeed. Everyone should know about him just like we recognize the names of Marconi, Tesla, and other scientists of his era.
