Vikram Sarabhai: A Life

Amrita Shah

Sarabhai won that argument. Shah is clear-eyed about what it cost and what it achieved.

Why you should read this

Shah's biography of the physicist who founded India's space program along with several of its earliest research institutions, tracing his path from a wealthy Ahmedabad industrialist family into science administration. Suited to readers who want the institutional history behind Indian science rather than the physics itself.
