The present author was the last scholar to work under Professor Sen and therefore was invited in both the seminars to narrate his remembrance of this great researcher. Within a year after the demise of Samarendra Nath Sen (or S.N. Sen) two obituary notes appeared in the literature giving account on his life and work — one by the editor of the Indian Journal of History of Science1 and the other by a distinguished historian of mathematics Professor Radha Charan Gupta2. This article is a compilation of comprehensive information on the academic contribution of S.N. Sen, fond remembrance of Dr Jayati Mitra his second daughter and the everlasting impression the present author had while working as a Research Samarendra Nath Sen Associate of Prof Sen. regularly during school and college days.

However, with the the course details for undergraduate and postgraduate levels. permission of IACS authority, Sen soon took a two-year Unfortunately, said society did not survive long. In 1960 engagement in the Science Section of UNESCO in Paris the Asiatic Society formed a History of Science Board with as a Specialist on the popularisation of science and its Sen as a nominated founder member. social implications.

After that, he was associated with INSA as a particularly in the Indian context. Many years later, in 1962, superannuated scientist till his last date.

He enjoyed interacting with his students, his Sen’s most significant work in Bengali titled Vigyaner daughters, their friends, their cousins and other family Itihas (History of Science) Volume one was published in members. He always encouraged youngsters in doing their 1955. He received, for this work, Rabindra Purashkar best, not only in academics but in sports, music or any (1955-56) from Government of West Bengal and other interests they had.

From the early occasion IACS had organized a series of lectures by its sixties to his last Sen had contributed over thirty research eminent faculties in the auditorium. The first lecture I had papers on the history of science.

As advised by Director of NCSM I consulted Prof Sen several times during the development of the exhibits. He was thorough on the subject and we had developed a set of exhibits on his suggestions. Most of those exhibits later found permanent places in galleries of NCSM at National Science Centre, New Delhi, Nehru Science Centre, Mumbai and Science City, Kolkata. During 1986-87 I became interested in studying the History of Magnetic Resonance Research. The importance of magnetic resonance and its associated branches of science could be judged from the fact that several Nobel Prizes were awarded to scientists from 1944 onwards. By 1989 I got in touch with 22 American and British pioneers of Magnetic Resonance Research, two of whom were Nobel Laureates. It may be recalled there was no internet or email service available then. From the writings of respondent scientists and their memoirs, it transpired that their involvement in the development of microwave Radar during the Second World War helped them to discover Magnetic Resonance phenomena after the war. So, it was important M.N. Saha, S.N. Sen and Linus Pauling in IACS (1955) to study the impact of the second world war on studies of magnetic resonance. I was lucky to get a Junior Research Fellowship next In early 1990 I approached Prof Sen with my plan to year in the Dept of Magnetism (renamed later Solid State study the ‘History of Magnetic Resonance Research’.

I was a Senior Research Fellow for considering financial support. However, Dr Ajit Ram then. The authorities selected me as a scholar representative Verma, (former Director NPL) in the screening committee, from the Physics wing of IACS in the Centenary remarked that discoveries in magnetic resonance happened Celebration Committee.

  • The Evolution of the Professional Structure in Modern India : Older and New Professions in a Changing
    C/83-5 THE EVOLUTION OF THE PROFESSIONAL STRUCTURE IN MODERN INDIA: OLDER AND NEW PROFESSIONS IN A CHANGING SOCIETY Rajat Kanta Ray Professor and Head Department of History Presidency College Calcutta, India Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1983 ,At Foreword This historical study by Professor Rajat Ray is one of a series which examines the development of professions as a key to understanding the different patterns in the modernization of Asia. In recent years there has been much glib talk about "technology transfers" to the Third World, as though knowledge and skills could be easily packaged and delivered. Profound historical processes were thus made analogous to shopping expeditions for selecting the "appropriate technology" for the country's resources. The MIT Center for International Studies's project on the Modernization of Asia is premised on a different sociology of knowledge. Our assumption is that the knowledge and skills inherent in the modernization processes take on meaningful historical significance only in the context of the emergence of recognizable professions, which are communities of people that share specialized knowledge and skills and seek to uphold standards. It would seem that much that is distinctive in the various ways in which the different Asian societies have modernized can be found by seeking answers to such questions as: which were the earlier professions to be established, and which ones came later? What were the political, social

    N 0 T E S on the Bengal Renaissa-nce . People's Publishing House, BOMBAY 4. Publishe·d~ in March, 1946. One Rupee 25334~ 0£ C. 19bo Printed by Sharaf Athar Ali, New Age Printing Press, 190B, Khetwadi Main Road. Bombay 4 and published by him for People's Publishing .House, Raj Bhuvan, Sandhurst Road, Bombay 4. INTRODUCTION This short pamphlet gives no more than the broad frame-work for a study of the Bengal Renaissance from Rammohan Roy to Rabindranath Tagore. The author himself-an eminent Marxist intellectual­ did not desire its publication at this stage as it is in no sense a detailed study nor is the frame-work indicated here necessarily final or complete. He has agreed to its publication for discussion because at the present crisis in Indian life and thought, it is urgently necessary to uncover the roots of the Bengal Renaissance which moulded the modern Indian mind. Much of that heritage has been lost and forgotten. Much of it has been repudiated and distorted. But it still remains the most powerful influence in moulding current ideas of all schools of social and political thought. We are therefore publishing this pamphlet as a con­ tribution towards the efforts to bring about a correct and common understanding of the ideas of our own past ideo­ logical heritage so that we may successfully struggle towards new ideas that will help to liberate our land and build a new life for our people. Bengal was the birth-place of the modern Indian Renaissance. We look to all Bengali intellectuals-irres­ pective of ideological or political differences-to contribute to the discussion.
