He rubbed shoulders with giants of Theoretical Physics, and was on the verge of taking India into the nuclear club, in 1966.
Its speculated (including an ex-CIA anecdote) that he was assasinated. USA couldn't handle the fact of India growing into a Nuclear and Space power. Another Indian scientist Sarabhai also died under suspicious circumstances. But Bhabha's seemed especially a strategic concern for US policy in those days.
USA and India were 'almost enemies' in those decades, a period when India refused to be bullied by either side.
- raincom 4y agoLove to hear more on the assassination or poisoning aspects of Bhabha and sarabhai. British is not going to declassify stuff about Ambedkar. It could be the same about bhabha.
- crossroadsguy 4y agoIn recent years as well Indian nuclear scientists have been departing under mysterious circumstances and the rumour is Pak/China/Rus were not facilitating those departures. “Business deaths” maybe? Biggest economy doesn’t like competition. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/11-indian-nuclear-scientists-died-unnatural-deaths-in-4-years-1229793/amp/1 https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/11-indian-nuclear-scientists... https://www.sundayguardianlive.com/investigation/7559-atomic-energy-department-saw-70-unnatural-deaths-eight-years https://www.sundayguardianlive.com/investigation/7559-atomic... https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2021/01/06/from-the-archives-when-several-indian-nuclear-scientists-died-mysteriously.amp.html https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2021/01/06/from-the-archiv... https://asiatimes.com/2019/07/indias-vanishing-nuclear-scientists/ https://asiatimes.com/2019/07/indias-vanishing-nuclear-scien... https://www.unrevealedfiles.com/the-strange-disappearance-of-indias-nuclear-scientists/?amp https://www.unrevealedfiles.com/the-strange-disappearance-of... — this one just turned up in Google.
