Homi J. Bhabha: 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.
