who was the first indian to win the nobel prize?
rabindranath tagore
the field of raman spectroscopy came to be based on this phenomenon, and ernest rutherford referred to it in his presidential address to the royal society in 1929. raman was president of the 16th session of the indian science congress in 1929. he was conferred a knighthood, medals and honorary doctorates by various universities. raman was confident that he would win the nobel prize in physics as well but was disappointed when the nobel prize went to owen richardson in 1928 and to louis de broglie in 1929. he was so confident of winning the prize in 1930 that he booked tickets in july, even though the awards were to be announced in november, and would scan each day's newspaper for announcement of the prize, tossing it away if it did not carry the news. he did eventually win the 1930 nobel prize in physics "for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the raman effect". he was the first asian and first non-white to receive any nobel prize in the sciences. before him rabindranath tagore (also indian) had received the nobel prize for literature in 1913.
