We welcome a very special contribution to the SN Bose Project Blog by Dr. Supurna Sinha. Dr. Sinha is a physicist and Professor at the Raman Research Institute, Bangalore. Dr. Sinha is a daughter of the late Dr. Purnima Sinha, the renowned physicist, author and music scholar from Bengal who was a Ph.D student of Professor Bose, and was one of the first, perhaps the first, woman in Bengal to receive a Doctorate in Physics, and the eminent anthropologist Dr. Surajit Chandra Sinha The following article first appeared in Sopanam, the student magazine published by IISER Thiruvananthapuram (2013-2014) [Indian Institute of Science Education and Research] and appears here with permission from the author and publishers. Dr. Sinha had shared this article and permission to publish it here on the SN Bose Project Blog many years ago when I had the pleasure of meeting her and her mother, Purnima madam, at their home in Bengalaru. At that time I regretfully hadn't followed through to publish it on the previous incarnation of the SN Bose Project Website which then went dormant for many years until recently revived in this present form. I offer my sincere apologies to Dr. Sinha for the delay. As it turns out publishing it now is perfect timing especially the 100th Anniversary year of Bose Einstein Statistics, and over the past decade interest in Professor Bose has only grown. Her contribution adds to the growing historical, and personal, store of knowledge about Professor Bose, for which we are very grateful. I am sure people will enjoy the read.
