The Indian who challeged Einstein

Dr E C George Sudarshan, who just passed away, had been waiting for Nobel justice for long, since many scientists, who worked on his findings as a student were awarded the Nobel Prize.He had once asked whether it was fair, when a prize is given for a building, to honour those who built the higher floors, ignoring the one who built the ground floor.

Though born a Christian, he turned to Hindu philosophy and thought after he married a Hindu. On spirituality, Sudarshan said, 'True scientists have deeper spiritual connection, while some scientists as administrators essentially continue to make noises about it. I miss philosopher J Krishnamurthi. He was facile and clear in his thinking.'
