Among the outstanding men of science in India, P.C. Ray holds a pride of place. Popularly known as Acharya Prafulla Chandra, he was a chemist of international fame. He was a pioneer in setting up chemical and pharmaceutical industries in Bengal. He was a selfless patriot, an ardent educationist and a devoted social worker. The extent of his munificence was remarkable. He gave away almost his entire earnings for the good of the country. Tagore rightly said of him: "Through the Chemistry of your love alone, you have made the whole human race your own."
This concise biography by Mr. Sen Gupta will give the reader the interesting story of Sir P.C. Ray's life and achievements and will, I hope, help in inspiring others to follow in his footsteps.
