Talk:Meghnad Saha

message: I remember having read the Scientific American essay arguing that Saha's work established the field of Astrophysics. But I don't have the reference. We need to add that reference to the article.

message: Attempts have been made to either omit Meghnad Saha's citizenship or describe him by a sub-identifier like "Bengali". Meghnad Saha became an Indian citizen on 15th of August, 1947 and remained an Indian citizen till his death. He was not even simply a passive Indian citizen - he was more than that and had his role in struggle for Indian nationalism in the British Raj [Source: http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/magazine/physicstoday/article/69/8/10.1063/PT.3.3267]. Not acknowledging him as an "Indian" would be much the same as calling Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi as "Gujarati" and not Indian. All neutral sources including the mentioned Physics Today article and Britannica encyclopedia refer to him as "Indian" and according to standards of international reading, that is what should be reflected in the main article as well.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

message: “It is said that the prize committee was of the opinion that one winner in a century from India was more than what Physics could tolerate”
-I have deleted this statement based on just a newspaper (however trustworthy otherwise) entry, as the author Dwaipayan Ghsoh Dastidar, does not cite any reference for the claim he made in that article [was noted here as reference no. 19 --> http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/scientists-from-india-seldom-get-their-due/1/204028.html] .
Going to this link: http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/61/3/333.full, - “India's Physics and Chemistry Nobel Prize nominators and nominees in colonial and international context” by Rajinder Singh does not mention any such malpractices on any of the nominator’s part. In fact, the American physicist A. H. Compton was the only person to nominate him (M.N.Saha) more than once.
The table there-in (the article mention above by Singh) might also be of some value to dispel these kinds of misconceptions of every deserving Indians as either victimised or being under a conspiracy, when it involved the Nobel Prize, excluding maybe the possibility of the recent one involving E. C. G. Sudarshan. 
I would certainly like this reference and this statement “It is said that the prize committee was of the opinion that one winner in a century from India was more than what Physics could tolerate” to find its due place in the article here, if the author Dwaipayan Ghsoh Dastidar, does cite any reference, other than just that one liner he stated in his authored article.
Otherwise it’s just sensationalistic journalism, and lousier wiki-spamming, possibly not much difference to the recent Shouryya Ray episode.
