Homi J. A Life is the first full-fledged biography of the theoretical physicist who founded India’s nuclear programme. A Renaissance man, Bhabha was also a lover of music and an accomplished painter. A scientist and aesthete who was equally at home in the world of science and the arts, he was both a visionary and a doer—a man of thought as well as a man of action. A great deal is known of his astonishing intellect, but less about his human side. This biography combines both aspects of him, presenting a more complete picture of the man. Bhabha’s life story also provides a good vehicle for telling the story of Indian science and the foundations of India’s atomic energy programme. This biography is as much an early history of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, and India’s atomic energy programme as it is an account of Bhabha’s life and work. Meticulously researched and narrated in rich, human, political and scientific detail, this biography tells the story of one of twentieth-century India’s greatest scientists and the country’s greatest-ever science administrator.

Truly a fabulous book. A mention about the quality of the book. Credit to Rupa publication for an excellent quality book…the paper, photographs, the fonts….very readable…enticing u to read….a big positive compared to digital reading. About the book…. A very well reasearched detailed book of a complete man..a colossus of a man…scientifically…also in art, environment…as I worked in BARC for many years and also been to TIFR & DAE HQ OYC…able to relate to many things…the best being the environment created for scientific pursuits ….also as a layman got myself educated with many scientific details…
A must read for this generation to know about a great human being…it surely gets u shaken up to know what we are doing today is a minuscule of what our founding fathers did for our country

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive biography
Reviewed in India on May 13, 2023

A little long but very interesting. The author sets the scene and also gives a background of Indian science. It also gives a history of the TIFR and BARC. Bhabha comes to life in every page. A full-fledged biography of Bhabha should have been written long ago and the author has filled a long-standing gap.
