Abstract: As British considered themselves as Nordic race and supreme, they believed that the black Indians cannot absorb modern scientific knowledge. So the educational and scientific institutes started during 19th century were purely for their own benefits. The higher positions in them were not offered to Indians. In 1823, Ram Mohan Roy asserted British Governor to encourage liberal, modern scientific education in India. This resulted in formation of Medical College of Bengal in 1835, University of Calcutta in 1857, and St. Xavier’s College in 1860 in Calcutta. But due to lack of modern facilities, the Science taught there was substandard. It was the efforts of Indian scientists that promoted modern science in India. In 1868, Dr. M.L. Sircar, graduate from Medical College of Bengal, started Calcutta Journal of Medicine to facilitate Indian medicine. In 1876, he formed Indian Association for Cultivation of Science. In 1885, Prof. J.C. Bose became the 1st Indian Professor in Presidency College, Calcutta. But he was paid less salary than British Professors. He never took that salary and continued teaching till retirement to recover Indian pride. His research papers were published in proceedings of Royal society only by intervention of Lord Rayleigh. In 1889, after joining Presidency College as Assistant Professor, Acharya P.C. Ray slowly established a research laboratory there. His efforts initiated chemical industries in India from 1901. The collective visionary, nationalist thinking, undeterred efforts of Dr. M .L. Sircar, Prof. J. C. Bose, Sir. A. Mukherjee, Acharya P.C. Ray, Dr. C. V. Raman, Dr. S. N. Saha, P. C. Mahalanobis, Dr. J. H. Bhabha and others after 1900, helped India to progress in science after independence.
