It is impossible to estimate the effect of his epoch-making researches.
The psychic stone flung by him into the pool of physical botany, has
made the ripples run in so many directions. There have been produced
"unexpected revelations in plant life, foreshadowing the wonders of the
highest animal life." And there "have opened out very extended regions
of inquiry in Physics, in Physiology, in Medicine, in Agriculture and
even in Psychology. Problems, hitherto regarded as insoluble, have now
been brought within the sphere of experimental investigation."
Sir J.C. Bose has not only extended the distant boundaries of Science,
but, by his peculiarly Indian contribution, has secured a recognised
place for India and has revived a hope in the Indian mind that India
may yet regain a place among the intellectual nations of the world. Men
like him are rare not only in India but rare any where in the world. May
he live long!
