- Amal kumar raychoudhuri was a renowned theoretical physicist from kolkata, India. He is famous for his well known equation named after him in general relativity. Apart from his research in physics Raychoudhuri was also a famous teacher. The documentary was produced jointly by Vigyan Prasar and Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune.
I hope that more people will see this documentary now that Roger Penrose has won the Nobel prize.
I just feel how simply Indian scientists are simply kept un observed and unappreciated
True her wife said... Until he was not recognized in vestern country he was not known in india.. I think its costume in our country that when other country pray you then you are great... It's hurting... Leave others even me came to know about him after Physics Nobel Prize in 2020
Till we are mentally colonized
Yes
@@kaliprasannapal876 it's not that we are still consider westerners great. Though you have to be thankful for their contribution but the problem is these geniuses can't be recognised because social media ,TV, newspaper never even bothers about scientific community. Hardly seen some achievement mentioned. In country where big boss,badshah,shitty movies, illogical new songs gain popularity how will people get time to even think about them. Majority will be busy in debating whether this celebrity was having affair or whether this celebrity was product of nepotism. People chase for jobs and get an MBA degree, earning in lakhs. Some go for upsc and get an IAS tag. Rarely people have mindset to study PhD or higher studies and get into research. Many youths are part of some bajrang Dal. Some youth become maulana and devote whole life to Islam,some become priest and some go to gurukul thinking ancient knowledge was far better than current one. Problem is if one cracks IIT or aiims they are not interested in research rather in making money. And this shitty government don't care about scientific development rather focuses only on winning the politics.
And even if you do research you will not get a decent amount of salary. It's the biggest demotivation for youths. And doing mba from IIM gives you good amount of money. What may one choose? Curiosity or money?
I'm ashamed of not having known of him.
@@cortexauth4094 If you're not into physics, you should read "Business Today" to know how good Startups and Placements are.
I'm similarly guilty.
In India it's a custom that we are recognized when we are recognised by the foreigners. Truly spoken out by sir Raychaudhuri.
Tamar Dupu but problem is, we Indian do not have the capability to recognize big personality..
Don't worry about it, it's the same everywhere.
Isn't it good??
We are recognized by some atleast!
Otherwise we wouldn't be recognized at all?? Indian people often fail to provide the value as much as they should to some eminent people from india who deserve! But somepeople from the west do they atleast recognize our talent!! ..
Exactly
LoL you guys depends on weak institutions for recognition that's the problem don't blame others for your mediocre mindsets better work on the betterment of your own society first.
I'm blessed to have been his student from 1967 to 1972. My respectful regards to the greatest teacher I've seen.
what are u doing now and where he lived in kolkata do u know?
me too! but from 66 to 69 (BSc days) only.
Why mostly great scientists are also great human beings? His smile is so genuine.
Because they got pleasure of problem solving.
You got it wrong man, great people are great scientists
Because They are like Us

@@tonmoydeka7319 your ans is right on point which rarely people think
Richard Feynman of India, only unsung and unrecognised in this blessed country.
@hello S You don't have to sure about that..
I think @mr. Adhipmitra forgot to put the blessed word into an air quote!
Hahaha!
@hello S i guess he means blessed with this person
As soon as I heard about the Nobel prize, I asked "Why Raychoudhuri is not getting the prize?" only later found out that he passed in 2005. How sad that both Raychoudhuri and Hawking didn't live to share the prize with Penrose.
He wouldn't have gotten it though.Hawking could have got it though
@@aryanbista747 The Nobel prize was awarded based on Penrose's '65 papers, not he '70 papers with Hawking.
Raychaudhuri, Hawking,Penrose!!
What a great moment it would have been
plese gives such tipe of vedo .
In our country, people and media are so obsessed with bollywood that the real heroes remain unnoticed.
AGREED!!

Yt recommending these video after 7 yrs.❤
A great Professor and Scientist, true inspiration for all of us
this man is greater than amitav bacchhan, rishi kapoor
That is not to mention . It's quite obvious
Come on Man... Don't compare legendary Theoretical Physicists with shitty bollywood actors...
Isn't that quite obvious...
Why are you even tempted to compare this theoretical physicist with the show business people? He is now even more relevant in light of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics. It should be clear that while people like tailors and even barbers become celebrities in New Delhi and the show business people become celebrities in Bombay, in Bengal and eastern India in general, and in Calcutta in particular, the famous academicians become celebrities and rightly so.
@@randomstuff9960 yes we should not compare but they are not shitty as today's Bollywood
It is a matter of utmost shame that this genius got no recognition for his contribution. But our useless politicians get full time care despite the fact that they hardly contribute towards the society and loot taxpayer's money. People like Mr. Raychaudhari must be our role model, we should aspire to become like him in our respective fields, JNU chaps are waste of India.
Ananya Shukla absolutely well said!!!
No..he did..Roger Penrose and Stephen Hawkin praised him profusely..it is his countrymen who failed to recognize him!
That’s what Indian people wanted so that’s how Indian system works
You forgot to mention ABVP chaps, guess that was intentional huh
Utmost shame that those JNU chaps don't recognize our own pushpak viman and elephant head human body plastic surgery.
Our heads hang on shame to realise that our countrymen failed to recognize such brilliant insights, as a result of which these gifted minds got transformed into "ignored geniuses " .....I remember a good-old Bengali proverb, which could be a scathing satire in this regard----"গেঁয়ো যোগী ভিখ্ পায় না।" The thought is that, we prefer appreciating and bolstering the west more than our own land.
Slightly not true as well.
When india constantly appreciate people from the bollywood do we then say such lines ? do we use these sentences?? where do these lines go then? "We prefer to appreciate and bolster west"
NO..
THE problem is people often fail to recognize a good talent..whether be it someone from the west or asia or africa.. but when we do recognize we recognize a great talent regardless where they came from
and there is no problem in it! ..
And a great talent always deserves to be recognized regardless of their race background and ethnicity..
And look at us today! We are everywhere on earth! Why?? Bcuz we are recognized! By every place and kind of people on earth..
And also don't forget that this genuis did not receive any recognition from india at all! But the
GREAT MINDS SUCH AS stephen Hawkins and Penrose DID.
Even after 70+ years, our mind is not yet free from the effects of slavery!!
@@12440jayjay 👍👍👍
@@kanishkagoswami6261 You are absolutely correct in your way of approach. What you want to put forward is also very true. A classic example of your viewpoint can be Nikola Tesla....western scientist, one of the greatest insight, yet he did not receive the recognition he deserved. Even, there was none present at his bed-side during his death...this was the fate of this genius! How tragic!
Even, Stephen Hawking not getting the Nobel Prize....it didn't demean Hawking rather the Nobel Committee themselves should have hanged their heads on shame for not giving him the prize.
It is utterly disgraceful for the society at large, not to value the true gems.
But my point of telling was only that we recognise the talents of the son of the soil, when it is certified and approved by the foreign.

Dear Indians...In era of globalisation do remember to respect a common man, and never judge a man by dressing style, pronunciation and do proud of your culture -history and incorporate them into yourself..
Never copy!
I can remember one incident, heard from one of my friend. He was a student of Prof. Roychaudhury at Presidency college. He once went to his house and knocked the door. One lady opened the door , then he asked if there is Prof. Roychaudhury? The lady, who turned out as his elder sister, replied with pleasant smile that which Prof. Roychaudhury you want, actually here , in our house everyone is Prof.Roychaudhury, then he explained more clearly, and then sister called Prof. Roychaudhury by his nick name. Amitabha Roychaudhury is his nephew also a reputed Professor of Physics.
That time that person also realised that Prof.Raychaidhury, the giant figure in Physics could have a childhood and he too had a nick name and atleast someone is there to call him by that name!
I have also heard the exact same story from my English teacher..While he was studying in presidency college ,he heard this from his college mate.....
@@punishersdeadlydingdong4190 I heard this from Mr.A. Mukherjee , a fortunate student of Prof.Roychaudhury in undergraduate level.
;;nnnn;;bn;;;nm;
Heard this story from one of his students in Presidency College.
RIP Professor Raychaudhuri... legends don't need awards to be recognized..
Legend are also not recognised by indians either... Like actors and cricketers
আমি যখন ক্লাস এইট বা নাইনে পড়ি বাবার কাছে শুনেছি ওঁকে " চলন্ত ফিসিক্স " বলা হয়। আজ আমার বাবা নেই। আজ এত বয়সে মনে হচ্ছে এঁকে কেন চাক্ষুষ করিনি, কেন দূর থেকে প্রণাম করিনি, কেন এতো দেরি করলাম!!
If he immigrated to UK or USA, the world would have known about him.
He is not even a Padma Shri. So sad. So talented man.
That's the point. Our own people are ignorant and downplay the importance of our scientists and artists.
@@any2xml media lay emphasis on politics and earn money
Why padam prize to such people.. we love sachin tendulkar.. he is god.. we love saif ali, aamir taimur ... And if course I question the present government why they are not recognising sunny leone and his brother honey singh contribution in making India.
yes wired is the word
@@akashgaur131 ha ha ha.
I as a student studying physics, promise I shall carry forward the legacy of the professor and look forward to contribute to the science...Thank you for inspiring me sir
Same here bro.
🎉
What are currently doing brother?
He deserves more and more respect and popularity .. Shame on us ..we didn't recognise a jewel and a legend ..we even didn't listen his name ..we have to accept it ..if he would born in Germany or USA ...he would have won Nobel prize ..
True her wife said... Until he was not recognized in vestern country he was not known in india.. I think its costume in our country that when other country pray you then you are great... It's hurting... Leave others even me came to know about him after Physics Nobel Prize in 2020
He is like Rishis of our Upanishad, full of wisdom... simple, noble man... great to hear about him... thanks for the video...
Couldn't have said it better
I am from Nepal And Has A Tremendous Respect For Him !
Science and scientist not only for country, they are for mankind development
What technology?
Indians have always failed to recognise talents and the Bengalis are one step ahead as always !!! The Bengalis have always worked as a adhesive force to pull down talents from the brim of success . But masterminds like Mr RaiChoudhary still keep on inspiring us .😊😃
It's so soul stirring to see these few people working without the slightest rapacity for fame . My warm regards for all those who are following his footprints on the "sand of time " !!!😌😌
People with good brain and behavior will never be recognize in place like India. That's why India can never progress in correct direction and will be a poor country although having so large population. People in India like cinema, movies and make movie hero as there hero and fight over their religion and caste. Huge Huge respect to Amal Kumar Raychadhuri , this documentary help me to motivate me in my world of programming and developing a useful software for Human to easy there work .
Kudos to the maker of documentary. A very important work done.
Such a humble personality! Its a shame that Science n people of Science seldom get recognition in India. Useless celebrities n AIB get it for their roasts!
chill no need to call aib comedians useless. some people like their jokes and they follow aib.
@6iveksah the stupidities are within us. We do not appreciate anything else other than physical glamour and money. There are many distinguished and notary geniuses in our time who get little to no recognition from us. We give a little too importance to things and people who do not deserve them
Right you are
@@rajratnaadsul9387 air 65 orz orz
Do you think there's much less celebrities in US and Europe?
There were tears in my eyes.I dont know exactly what touched my heart .The feeling is surreal
*FUND RESEARCH.* Sad to think how many brilliant minds would've opted out of getting a doctorate just because there's relatively less money in the field.
Heh, they'll rather fund questionable business start-ups that any experienced person will recognize to be sure to fail and just fuel some bubble.
Just like singularity, this little documentary has a lot of mass and substance in it.
i am an engineering student but i have very deep interest in astrophysics and theoretical physics. This video inspired me a lot. Thanx
AK Raychaudhuri as a source of inspiration even after 6yrs of his death really makes me chase my dreams.
I don't know why.? but after watching this documentary i got tears in my eyes. I wonder was it him or just me searching myself ?
Nice I believe you 👍
Bruh which collage are U studying astro physics ?
same here
Very few teachers can match Prof Roychowdhury's standard and style of teaching physics. He was an well known figure among the Physics students in Calcutta. I was fortunate to be his student ( MSc 76-78 ) when I was watching him speaking in the video I could remember his lectures in "Classical Mechanics" and building intricate equations on blackboard effortlessly without consulting any notes etc . Pranaam Sir...
I wasn't able to grasp the basic crux of relativity for many years then I found a book written by A. K. Raychaudhari and it was written with such a novelty that relativity became comprehensible for me.
Oh, so nice!
it is a petty thing that such great personalities as Late AK Raychaudhuri never get recognition in india, who have given so much to the society and helped to disclose evolution and the secrets of the universe. A heart touching documentary.
My supervisor mentioned about him and how he was a brilliant mind, that how much he had loved his subject, with a simple life. How shameful that I never heard about him before. He deserves recognition. People should know about what he had done. An amazing work.
8 to 9 out of 12 nobel laureates India has produced was associated(either born,worked or studied) with West Bengal.
At times I still think that my state is still the best in this country in its own unique way.
Yes definitely, in an academic sense!

Wish I could have said that too, but that's not true. For academics it is still good, but politics has killed the atmosphere of nurturing creative minds and virtue of diligence long back. Hope, it will get back on track some day again.

28:16 to 28:26 is probably the most definitive, saddening remark that a researcher can make upon their self. It sends a bittersweet tear down my eye to see him saying it in such a composed matter-of-fact manner. Inspired in the utmost, I take a solemn moment to serve my respects to Prof. Raychaudhari here.
selfmade physicist of highest calibre gone away like this....
Selfmade?
Thank you so so much for recording such a great man and we are able to hear him
I'm so lucky that i watch this video today...5th september 2017...he is truly a source of inspiration, a great teacher and a renowned theoretical physicist....truly said by Mrs. Namita Raychaudhuri that this is the custom in our country if foreigners praise you then you are great.
Salute to you sir!!
Many such talents are present in India even today. We should make an endeavour so that such talents are not lost without receiving the honour that they should have received.
My teacher had the rare privilege of living close to Dr. Raychaudhary for a long time in his career. My humble respect to this great man...
Pranam to such honest , hardworking,genius . India needs such personalities
Excellent documentary. The humility in academia, that was, seems to be lessening every day.
This country need more people like them who can actually go out there and represent India on international platforms, interviews and university lectures and talk about actual science with actual scientists in the world. It feels like it has been forever since actual groundbreaking discovery has been made in physics from this land. And it breaks my heart to see that brilliant minds are present but because of one reason or other they are either unknown or limited to India only where most people don't even care.
Thanks to person who've decided to make a documentary on this great person, after knowing him, feeling blessed.
what a beautiful documentary about just simple gentleman, who is content with perhaps whatever fate brought him. god bless you for making this documentary.
I could féel his love for theoretical physics.......Even after being disguised by so many seniors he was able to reach this level. A great personality 🙏
This documentary has been made with great heart and beautiful mind. The rolling of tram is very nostalgic and cinematic. No artificiality in shooting inside household.
I'm blessed that CZcams recommended this video. Came to know about a great personality.
You and your masterpiece in physics will be remembered dearly Sir.
You can rest in peace and let your ideal guide future physicists.
Thanks so much for making me aware of this great researcher- how unassuming he is inspite of his greatness- probably that is the essence of a great researcher.
"...dabblings and delvings" indeed, followed by a priceless smile. Much respect for your contributions to physics and science, sir. Thanks for the documentary @srijit bhattacharjee
Wonderfully made video. Common people like us come to know of such brilliant minds only when some recognitions come through their work. Y respect. 🙏🙏
Professor Raychaudhuri is a joyful being, a sparkling diamond of the realm of Theoretical Physics, a noble soul. I am deeply motivated by him and hope to follow his trajectory of life with few feets ahead, if time permits...........
Thank you for bringing such a wonderful documentry video on him.
After a long time, I again saw this masterpiece. Loved it.
What an great and humble person I think God must be very proud and pleased to see that he created prof. Ak. Raychaudhari. Salute to this great physicist always.
Sir taught us.. we all had deep respect and love for him! And..eternally thakbey..Eta aamar ebong aamar bondhu der param paowa. .. Aaj o sei memory anek shokti dyay..sir ke aamar pronum..
I am amazed and proud at the same time..thank you sir for your contributions.
Knowledge is an automated boon to those who r humble to life. He s such a receptive of it. Respect, love and gratitude. 🙏🙏🙏
I feel fortunate that I could find this video and come to know about such a great person 🙏
Just completed M.Sc in Physics, this provides great inspiration. Thank You❤️
being a student of science and specificlly physics, I can fully understand what was going in his mind during his research, whether he got recognization or not, he knows he lived his life fulfilling his passion. Rest is a topic for debate for us, researchers and scientists work for their own thirst of pursuit, he lived his dream that's what matters.
Tahnk you so much for this documentary
I am feeling so sad yet happy , so ignorant yet enlightened watching this video.. wish I was his student or acquaintance.. great video , great story , great narration let's make it in many languages and spread this story. Young people are there many in numbers who are bewildered and seeking motivation in life ..this gentleman and this story is one such motivation, let ignited minds have their cue from Prof AKR
I had the good fortune of being a student of AKR at Presidency college in the sixties.
The only thing I remember is that the most difficult subject was explained by him so clearly that all complexities. were gone. The greatest Teacher I ever met in my whole career was AKR.
Ma'am you are so lucky to be one the few lucky people to be his direct students . All students of Physics of all generations would love to be taught Physics by himself in the great classrooms of Presidency College. Teachers like him actually raised Presidency to its rarest orbit of dignity and fame.
THE MOST SIMPLEST MAN AND THE MOST INTELLIGENT MAN I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Thanks for the video. Sir was quite soft spoken person and a perfect gentleman. Consider myself fortunate and blessed to be his student at Presidency.
how humble is the man!!!! I will never forget his beautiful innocent smile ever, how beautifully a moderate Bengale life has been projected.
I read an interview of him in a science magazine 25 years ago...I hardly understood that then...Now I am glad I can make out the contours of his pioneering work
what r u doing?
What an absolutely delightful documentary! ❤
Great documentary, good to see my professor Dr N B, JU as well, no wonder, he was good, taught Classical Mechanics at JU in 1995.
As a part of young generation and student of BS MS integrated at IACS KOLKATA this documentary gives me goosebumps and a special inspiration to learn more and more .I am fortunate enough to be part of his gharana coz I am taught by his bright student Dr Soumitra sengupta . And for my country India I feel sorry that India has not given talents proper opportunities
Yes at that time we were just a rising nation but after 73 years it's still the same ....one is recognised based on whether international scientist refer his work or not ......having the largest telescope in our country GMRT the works using it is all published in Nature is all by foreigners
Our government is still the same ...and we are still the rising nation on basis of science
Thank you
Hope I will be able to contribute 0.000001% of what all contributed
Don't feel sorry Sir. The Strong foundations India has in Theoretical Knowledge is bcoz of Bengalis who work in Indian Institutes instead of Preferring to work some where else.
Hope you're still doing research now
So nice so humble.Can motivate people with gesture.
A true genius and what modesty about his ability and ability to inspire generations of budding physicists in India. 🙏🙏🙏
Respect to Mr.Raychoudhuri. As an Indian, his life should inspire and humble us all!
I knewed about this person work long ago, but today I have seen him, may sir bless me with ur humble smile 🙏
I hereby sincerely wanted to thanks the entire team of IUCAA Delhi and the people who have taken the initiative to unravel this monumental personality to young people who are willing to pursue their careers in the staggering field of research.
Amal Kumar Raychowdhary will always be remembered by me, not for these astounding works in General Relativity but despite having grey clouds and having faced the sun the willingness and persistence can make oneself accomplish wonders.
Dr. Raychowdhary was not the only one whose talent was hidden under the curtain and blaming others won't present with any conclusion. This isn't something contrary for people to remain noticed Galois who presented the concept of symmetry and group arrangement remained unnoticed and later on categorized as "Father of Abstract Algebra". Einstein himself was patent clerk served there for 4 years until his miraculous year of 1905. So the solution to such kinds of inconsistencies is to give them honor like naming institutions on their name and naming distinguished lecture series. Truly the best method for generations to know about these Titans.
Awesome guy. I was in tears watching this amazing life
Really very inspiring personality.....
Salute to you, AK Rayachaudhari Sir.!!
thanks for making the documentary on Prof AKR
Wonderful man and well-made documentary :)
Ek kami
Ki hum apne country ke brilliant minds ko vo darja nahi dete credit nahi dete appreciation nahi dete jo unhein milni chahiye
Aise log ignored reh jaate hai
Or so called social media celebrities or influencers aur actors ke bache news mein rehte hai
Tabhi to sab apna talent foreign countries mein dikhate hai
Waha settle ho jaate hai jaha log unki keemat jaante hai 😔
Nahi to kitne hi mashhoor hone layak log gumnami ki zindagi jee jaate hai ...
Knowledge is Power and Knowledge can be gained by Imaginations. It is this Imagination that gives Curiosity to seek truth of this Universe. The simplicity itself says the gravity of his knowledge. Salute to You Sir.
Watched a great person's documentary. thanks lot.
Very inspiring, thanks for sharing.
In all my encounters with true greatness, what I'm always struck by more than the genius is humility. "I place myself in B class, at the most in B+, not A+," spoken like a truly great man, Dr. Raychaudhury, about your "dabblings and delvings" in cosmology. We are grateful that you did dabble and delve; and humankind is the richer.
Thanks for the recommendation CZcams..♥️♥️
The dhoti clad professor speaking English in Bengali accent was one of the last reminiscent of the Bengal Renaissance. His teaching was as simple as his life style. During a long loadshedding of the late 70's, he stopped lecturing and went back to Rabindranath, "ihar cheye hotem jadi Arab Beduin" (if instead I were an Arab Beduin). Save mathematics, he was Bengali at the core.
After helping Penrose win the Nobel - hope more people look up Raychaudhari ji's remarkable work
BRILLIANT ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ❤️❤️❤️
FEEL SO PRIVILEGED AND HONOURED TO BREATH THE SAME AIR AS THIS GIFTED GENTLEMAN 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for putting this documentary! After Prof Penrose received his Nobel Prize , the obvious question will be why Prof RoyChoudhury was not recognised enough. But physicists are not rock stars. They do their work because they are capable and curious. They know they are the flag bearer of human curiosity and intelligence. originality of their work is more important than any recognition... and I don’t see prof Roy Choudhury was bothered!
Sir, Your contributions wil make immortal...❤️
I could pass such a house everyday and never realize I had the oppurtunity to meet such a great theoretical physicist.
Thank you very much for making the beautiful biography.
hats off to u sir. Enjoyed your ride.😀😀. kudos for your journey.
Excellent documentary on life of a noble human being.
feeling blessed, wish everybody from kolkata only at my age know him.
