On receiving the award, thanking the Citizen’s Forum, Bose uttered these memorable words:
‘Life in all beings is the same. So also the entire human race belongs to one kind for its existence. Co-existence, tolerance to other living beings must be practiced. It is not good for each nation to live with mutual distrust’
Bose had shone forth in the sky of the scientific world and his physical existence came to an end on the 23rd of November, 1937 leaving behind him the spirit of courage, adventure, patriotism, confidence and perverseness with which he lived, worked and achieved tremendous success in all the scientific marvels he created.
