The Quantum Indians (National Award Winning Film)

Winner of the National Award for Best Educational Film of 2013 (61st National Film Awards), Raja Choudhury‘s documentary film The Quantum Indians talks about  Satyendra Nath Bose, Chandrashekar Venkat Raman and Meghnad Saha, the legendary trio of Indian science.Today, the Bose-Einstein Statistic, Condensate and Bosons, The Raman Effect and The Saha Equation are part of the edifice of modern Physics and have been responsible for some major breakthroughs in Quantum Physics and Astrophysics in the 20th and 21st centuries including the discovery of the Higgs Boson Particle, the splitting of light and the high temperature ionization of elements. All 3 scientists taught initially at the University of Calcutta, all went on to become leading Indian scientists and teachers, all became members of the Royal Society and one of them was the recipient India’s only Nobel Prize for Science.

“The Quantum Indians” is an important, compelling and timely International documentary film that explores how these three brilliant Indian minds emerged out of the colonial shackles of British rule and racial prejudices to have such an impact on the World of Science. In this 52-minute film, the audience will get to explore their individual biographies, their collective impact on the world of physics and their legacy in Indian science and world history, all these through their own words, archival imagery and footage, interviews with leading Indian scientists and historians and animated visualizations using cutting edge graphics and CGI to demonstrate their their theories.
