From Michael Faraday's captivating lectures that sparked the world's first one-way street to today, this article highlights the enduring importance of making science accessible to the public.
I would argue that communicating science and scientific research is more important than any of the results of the writing. How much use would Newton's work on calculus and classical mechanics had been if they had never been written down and shared to others? Why are Edison's inventions so much more well-known than Tesla? Simply, he was a better communicator and businessman. Science is fascinating and takes an important group to bring that information to the masses. Thank you for doing your part to share information with others!
Dr. Naralikar, your stories played a big role in me developing interest in science. I think when it comes to popularisation of science, you are India’s Faraday !! Thank you.
One question comes to mind, other than IUCAA, are there institutes comparable to the Royal Institute doing similar work of science popularisation in India?
so proud of you, firstly for your scientific achievements and secondly for working on 'science popularization' as you put it. Keep blogging for us please.
Informative blog... enjoyed like i always do ...i felt that along with "Nehru" mention of Tatas who have contributed so much to the "Science journey of Bharat " would have been apt
Dr. Naralikar,
I enjoyed reading the blog. You shared many interesting facts while emphasizing science and punctuality. Please keep blogging.
Wishing you Health, Happiness and Science forever.

Interesting !!
Every musing is worthy of saving & sharing with others ! Had read about Faraday in school in science text book , now I saw him as a person !!

Excellent articles sir... So interesting
What a fantastic revelation indeed. Many thanks for sharing
Delighted to read Faraday's stories. Thanks so much Prof.
Very inspiring. It’s amazing to draw parallels in electromagnetism in Faraday’s times to AI in today’s times. They look like magic.
Inspiring.
