The year 1988 marks the centennial of the birth of C. V. Raman, the discoverer of the effect that bears his name. During his extraordinarily creative career, which spanned more than six decades, he had a profound impact on the scientific world. He made significant contributions to acoustics, physical optics, magnetism and molecular physics, including, of course, his extensive studies on elastic and inelastic light scattering. Modern India owes him much for her entry into the world of science, and for the strength of her scientific tradition.
