Original: C V Raman: the physicist with a 'Himalayan ego' who went to Stockholm convinced he’d win a Nobel prize
A profile revisits C V Raman, the Indian physicist who won the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the Raman effect. The piece highlights his famously towering self-confidence, described as a 'Himalayan ego', recounting how he booked his passage to Stockholm in advance, certain he would win the prize before the announcement was made.
Why now: A major physics publication has published a retrospective profile of Raman, drawing renewed attention to his life and personality.
