Letters to the Editor
Sir, — Raja Ramanna was not merely a nuclear scientist but a musician par excellence, who could delight a large audience on the piano. Above all he was a nationalist who believed in a strong R&D. I remember him recalling with his usual humour an incident when the President of India introduced him as a Member of the Rajya Sabha to Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton's face brightened up only when the President remarked that he was our leading nuclear scientist. That America respected nuclear power more than people's power is apparently the moral of the story. Ramanna was a great admirer of Mahatma Gandhi who, he said, "was the only man who could wake up a sleeping nation."
N.G.R. Prasad,
