The scientific mission of Dr. Bose to the West was a great success. The
very convincing character of the demonstrations that he gave, before the
leading Scientific Societies of the world, with his newly invented
Resonant Recorder and other delicate instruments, secured a world-wide
acceptance of his theories and results. Not only that. He secured also a
recognition from the leading thinkers of "that trend of thought which
led him unconsciously to the dividing frontiers of different sciences
and shaped the course of his work."[44] It has come to be recognised
that "India through her habit of mind is peculiarly fitted to realise
the idea of unity and to see in the phenomenal world an orderly
universe," to realise that "there can be but one truth, one Science
which includes all other branches of knowledge,"[44] and that the store
of world's knowledge would be incomplete without India's special
contribution to it. Thus he has raised India in the estimation of the
intellectual world.
