  • Colleagues, friends recall his contributions to field of nuclear physics & Pokhran nuclear tests. Rajagopala Chidambaram died Saturday at a hospital in Mumbai at the age of 88.

The article from ThePrint discusses the contributions of Rajagopala Chidambaram, a prominent Indian physicist, in India's journey to becoming a recognized nuclear state. Chidambaram, who served as the principal scientific advisor to the Indian government and chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, played a pivotal role in the 1998 Pokhran-II nuclear tests, which were crucial for India's nuclear deterrence strategy. His leadership was instrumental in not only the technical execution of these tests but also in navigating the international political landscape to secure India's status as a nuclear state. The article highlights his scientific acumen, his role in policy-making, and his efforts in promoting peaceful uses of nuclear energy, thereby shaping India's nuclear policy and its global nuclear diplomacy.
