Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose and Mahatma Gandhi  

 

Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose was eminent Indian scientist, author of books on plant physiology; founder, Bose Research Institute, Kolkata. He was a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi was very impressed with his inventions. Both wrote letters to each others.  I thank you very much for your letter of the 5th instant. I would be delighted indeed to see you and Lady Bose on your return if you could find time to motor down to Juhu. It is a pleasant retreat near Andheri. 

I am stupid and live as in a well not knowing what goes on outside its walls. I came to know of your birthday only yesterday. Though late, pray let me add my greetings to the many you have received. May you be spared long to enable India to share your ever increasing power and greatness?
