Sir JC Bose, the first Indian in the field of science to be elected Fellow of the Royal Society, was born at MymenSingh in Bengal Presidency of British India on November 30, 1858. Born into a Brahmo Samaj family, his father believed that Indians should be well versed in their local culture and traditions before being introduced to foreign influence, which is why a young Bose was enrolled in a Faridpur school where children from different castes, classes and religion studied together.
