Abstract

There are two types of genius. Ordinary geniuses do great tilings, but they leave you room to believe that you could do the same if only you worked hard enough. Then there aremagicians, and you can have no idea how they do it’ Hans Bethe once said. According to Anand Narayan ‘In the world of science, every so often we come across visionaries, ‘magicians’ in the words of Bethe, who dare to perceive the world in ways no one else has before. E.C. George Sudarshan is one of them. From formulating fundamental ideas in particle physics to understanding the quantum nature of light, Dr. Sudarshan's contributions to physics read like a fascinating chapter from the book of breakthroughs in science of the past century’.
