		Meghnad Saha was born on October 6, 1893 in Sheoratali, a village in the District of Dacca, now in Bangladesh.
		In 1927, Meghnad was elected as a fellow of London's Royal Society.He invented an instrument to measure the weight and pressure of solar rays.
		Saha was the leading spirit in organizing the scientific societies like the 'National Academy of Science' (1930), 'Indian Institute of Science' (1935) and the 'Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science' (1944).

		Meghnad Saha was born on October 6, 1893 at Sheoratali, a village in the District of Dhaka.
		Meghnad Saha was among the few senior students who was demonstrating and boycotted the visit of the then Governor, Sir Bampfylde Fuller and as a sequel the authority cancelled his scholarship and was compelled to leave the institution.
		Meghnad Saha, Satyen Bose and other like-minded participants comprised this group who made up their minds to undertake the hard painstaking task of placing the subcontinent on the World map of science even in the face of severe hostility from the foreign rulers.

		Meghnad Saha, born in 1893, was one of the eight children of a poor shopkeeper in village Seoratalli, 45 km from Dacca.
		Saha recalled the progressive dissociation of substances with continued heating-the substance turning into a gas, the gas molecules decomposing into those of simpler compounds, the latter again into those of the constituent elements, until finally the elements are decomposed into atoms.
		Saha asserted that at very high temperatures (of the order 60000 C or more), prevailing in stellar atmospheres, many of the constituent atoms of a star must be truncated with many of their electrons torn off.

	Meghnad Saha Summary
		Before Saha's interest in research with particle accelerators peaked in the 1930s, he studied the thermal ionization that occurs in the extremely hot atmosphere of stars.
		Saha demonstrated that elements in stars are ionized in proportion to their temperature, as defined by the equation that now bears his name.
		Meghnad N. Saha (Bangla:মেঘনাদ সাহা) Devanagari]]: मेघनाद साहा) (October 6 1893 – February 16 1956) was an Bengali Indian astrophysicist.

		Saha's very important results on this subject were published in a classic paper entitled, "On Ionization in the Solar Chromosphere," in the prestigious Philosophical Magazine in 1920.

		Saha’s role in the process comes in for critical assessment, as the rich global implications mingle with the more immediately national.
		Aimed at both the specialist reader and the more general one, the book should serve as a fairly comprehensive account of the achievements of Saha, and what they mean to science today.

		Saha and Takamine represent interesting examples of physicists from very different backgrounds, each of whom made contributions to modern physics in ways that can be seen in terms of their differing social and cultural backgrounds.
		Their experiences of the West were quite different and they also had very different goals and impressions about the way physics ought to be pursued in their own countries.
		For example, Saha's ionization equilibrium theory was a key, but maverick, ingredient in the linking of astrophysics to modern physics, whereas Takamine worked along more traditional lines in laboratory spectroscopy in the wake of the fate of Nagaoka's theories about the structure of the atom.
