Tributes to Dr. Homi J. Bhabha (October 30, 1909)

Heartfelt tributes to Dr. Homi J. Bhabha, one of the greatest scientists of India, on his birth anniversary. Though known as father of India's nuclear program, Bhabha was an outstanding theoretical physicist, who had attained fame for his theory of Bhabha scattering of electrons and positron especially when Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), the theory for Electromagnetic force was being developed. He was interacting with the most famous Nobel Laureates of his time including Einstein, Dirac, Yukawa and Wheeler (see photo) among others. 

He was entrusted with the task of India's nuclear energy program that culminated in creation of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) that is a centre of nuclear research in India. He served as president of the United Nations Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in 1955 and as president of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics from 1960 to 1963. Sadly this curtailed his genius of scientific creativity. However, as his nature was, he created Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai for research into fundamental forces of Nature. May his ideas be followed by others in the art of innovative and creative thinking! Tributes to his sagacity and and acumen!

He tried to declare Kashmir a trilateral issue rather than a bilateral one and also made serious allegations against India such as "India
