C. V. RAMANWe have, I think, developed an inferiority complex.
C. V. RAMANIn reality, the professor benefits equally by his association with gifted students working under him.
C. V. RAMANIt will soon be 25 years from the date of publication of my first research work. That the scientific aspirations kindled by that early work did not suffer extinction has been due entirely to the opportunities provided for me by the great city of Calcutta.
C. V. RAMANI think what is needed in India today is the destruction of that defeatist spirit.
C. V. RAMANIt was my great good fortune, while I was still a student at college, to have possessed a copy of an English translation of his great work.

C. V. RAMANWe need a spirit of victory, a spirit that will carry us to our rightful place under the sun, a spirit which can recognize that we, as inheritors of a proud civilization, are entitled to our rightful place on this planet.

C. V. RAMANWhen we consider the fact that nearly three-quarters of the surface of the globe is covered by oceanic water.
C. V. RAMANI have always thought it a great privilege to have as my colleague in the Palit Chair of Chemistry such a distinguished pioneer in scientific research and education in Bengal as Sir Prafulla Ray.
