Sir C.V. Raman was chosen as the subject of the biography due to his extraordinary abilities and curiosity that led to his Nobel Prize-winning discovery. He was born in 1888 in India and showed academic excellence from a young age, obtaining degrees in physics. His curiosity about the color of the sea led to his discovery of the Raman effect in 1922, for which he received the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics. Later in his career, he devoted himself to setting up the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore and serving as the head of the Indian Academy of Science until his death in 1970.
