He
started his research on different subjects at this time and
kept himself busy in multi pronged research activities. Physics
was his basic subject for research. He experimented that long
distance communication can be had through Radio Wave without
the help of cable or wire, which were then in use. Unfortunately
before his thesis was submitted and had recognition from the
Royal College of Science, Italian Scientist Macroni had submitted
his thesis papers and was declared the official investor of
Radio. Bose also had discovered the presence of magnetic force
around the electric current flown through any substance, The
London University bestowed him with Doctor of Science for
these two successful invention.
Later
on, Bose devoted himself with Botany and proved before the
authorities that plants had life. They could feel pleasure
and pain. For proving this, he had manufactured by himself
many instruments. This had worldwide recognition. Till then
people did not know that the plants and trees had life.
After
having retired from his services, Bose established a Laboratory
where he devoted and experimented till his last days. The
laboratory now is known as Basu Bijnan Mandir and is situated
at Acharya Prafulla Chandra Road in north Kolkata between
Manicktola and Rajabazar. Students, Researchers and Scholars
now have the opportunity to experiment and do advance research
in this laboratory.
Bose
was a good writer too. His book "Abyakta" in Bengali
was very popular in those days. Bose
is amongst the few ones for whom, Bengalis, Kolkata people
in general and India in general can boast of his contribution
to science. The great son of Bengal is remembered by all and
will remain in the mind of people.
