Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose
Often referred to as the father of Modern Science in the Indian Subcontinent, Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose was a man with his name figuratively marked on the moon. He was the first Asian to be awarded a US patent.
He demonstrated the first-ever wireless communication through radio waves. The technology we use today in WiFi finds its roots in his research and experimentation.
During a November 1894 (or 1895) public demonstration at Town Hall of Kolkata, Bose ignited gunpowder and rang a bell at a distance using millimetre range wavelength microwaves. Lieutenant Governor Sir William Mackenzie witnessed Bose's demonstration in the Kolkata Town Hall. In an essay, Bose noted the potential for wireless communications via radio waves.
Bose submitted his first scientific paper, ``On polarisation of electric rays by double-refracting crystals,`` to the Asiatic Society of Bengal in May 1895. His submitted his second, ``On a new electro-polariscope,`` to the Royal Society of London in October 1895, and it was published by The Electrician in December 1895. The p
