[edit] Spellings

The first name should be spelt correctly in the title as "Jagadish" and not "Jagdish"

[edit] "Sir"

Could this "Sir" title prefix be properly wikified, please? Perhaps Sir#Formal styling?, or Knight#Becoming a knight, or Knight#Honorific orders, or British_honours_system#Indian_Orders? TIA.

uh... done. Order of the British Empire. Jerome Potts 06:57, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I changed two occurrences of 'Sir Bose' to 'Sir Jagadish'. In some English dialects the (improper) use of 'Sir Bose' would convey a slight insult, which I presume was not intended. Even though this occurs within a quotation, unless there is good reason to stick strictly to the original it seems rather more genteel to use the correct form of address.

It seems to me that a quotation, assuming it is accurate, should be left alone. After all, the convention on the proper usage of "Sir", as documented in Sir#Formal styling, is also subject to evolving; perhaps the quoted gentleman had his own idea on how that title should be used.

[edit] Reassessment of Bose

I believe IEEE published a major reassessment of Bose with the conclusion that his work defintiely was prior to that of Marconi. I will try to get that reference. Meanwhile, here is something related: http://www.tuc.nrao.edu/~demerson/bose/bose.html DaveBorman 19:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
