C. Bose, C V Raman, S N Bose, and M N Saha. It relates their works to modern subject of IT, particularly Electronics, Photonics and Communication, mentioning the comments made by experts recognizing their contributions. J C Bose’s galena detector, experiments on light tunnelling, jute polarizer as first chiral metamaterial, hysteresis of coherer as first signature of memristor are discussed. Applications of Si Raman Laser, Fibre Raman Amplifier and Lasers based on Raman scattering are mentioned. Bose Einstein condensation of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor nanostructures is an example of utilization of physics research in communication. In addition, Saha’s ionization equation to estimate exciton dissociation in photonic modulator and in Quantum Dot Lasers used in optical fibre communication is included in the book. Another path breaking research, transmission of high-quality image by bundles of glass fibre, conducted by Narinder Singh Kapany as a Ph.D. worker in Imperial College London, is also reported.  Kapany was born in British India and educated in independent India, but spent rest of his life in UK and the USA. He is named as the Father of Fibre Optics, and listed as an Unsung Hero that changed the world.  The work by Kapany and the impact of his work in IT has also been included in this book. Three more chapters giving basic idea about optical fibre communication, lasers and exciton-polaritons are included for the understanding of students and uninitiated readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. P.K. Basu\u003c\/strong\u003e worked from 1971 to 2011 in Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, University of Calcutta (IRPE-CU). He then worked successively as UGC BSR  faculty fellow and visiting professors at IIT Kharagpur, India, and National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan. He did research in physics of Semiconductors and nanostructures and electronic and photonic devices. He authored more than 150 journal papers, 3 book chapters, and 4 books. He visited Germany as an Alexander von Humboldt fellow and worked as visiting professor in McMaster University, Canada, several times, in TIFR, India, as well as in UK under INSA-Royal Society exchange program. He is now engaged in collaborative research in semiconductors with faculties of IRPE-CU and NIT Delhi, and continues his work on history of science and technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Bratati Mukhopadhyay\u003c\/strong\u003e is currently an Associate Professor in IRPE-CU and has been teaching semiconductor physics, advanced semiconductor devices, quantum theory of solids, and electronic devices since 2008.
