Sadhan Basu was an inspiring teacher and scientist and among the best that our university system has produced. He carried out important and thoughtful research work in the fields of polymers, spectroscopy and quantum chemistry that bear the signature of a highly creative mind. And all these he did with so little resources at his disposal. No wonder that his memory still inspires awe and respect among many of his immensely successful students and colleagues. © 2013 Indian Academy of Sciences.
