Discovery of a sub atomic particle Pi Masons: Dr. Bibha Chowdhuri

 *This article is dedicated to the unknown or we can say that known by only few of us, Bibha Chowdhuri. And this article is a question for all of us.*

*Why this name is not known to everyone ?*

*Is this great scientist not deserves the noble prize..?*

*This question is for all of us.*.

I am going to start the introduction of this lady scientist by a recent incident : An unsung brilliant Indian scientist,Bibha chowdhuri,was honoured by the International Astronomical Union by naming a white yellow dwarf star after her name. The star ‘Bibha’ is 340 light years away in the constellation of Sextans.

Bibha Chowdhuri worked at Tata Institute of Fundamental Reserch for 8 years. She worked with Homi J. Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai. And she also worked with Noble prize winner and great physicist P. M. S. Blacket(Google this name for more)  

And now why I am saying this lady deserve a Noble Prize. Bibha Chowdhuri  discovered the pi-meson, a subatomic particle, in Darjeeling before the independence of India. 

And a book is writen on her work, named "A Jewel Unearthed :Bibha Chowdhuri".

I can't introduce this lady but after reading the above lines you can easily think about her greatness in her field. But my question is still same why this lady is unknown to many of us ? And the biggest question why not Noble Prize to her? For this you have to read and research on the history. What are the factors working behind all these stuff ? Beside of all this question, we are also,intellectual class of the nation, was responsible for all these things. why she didn't get her fame despite this great discovery. If we are using the internet in the right way. And if Indian parents support their children to go in higher education then definitely they came to know about names like Vibha Chowdhuri. Here I took only one example of Bibha Chowdhuri but there are many more names of great ones whose name is unknown to us and they have disappeared in the pages of history.I am quoting here that "Talente is hidden till to be viral".
