This book is about significant aspects of the life of Dr. P. M. Bhargava, who has in every possible way broken the stereotype of an Indian scientist: the latter largely perceived as inward-looking, isolated, passive, unconcerned about the larger world, leading a dichotomous existence with critical questioning reserved only for the lab and irrationality ruling one’s personal life. Scientist, writer, thinker, institution builder, and administrator, Dr. Pushpa Mittra Bhargava was widely regarded as the architect of modern biology and biotechnology in India.
