 India's scientists will never be handled in the same manner that America did to Robert Oppenheimer

In light of the worldwide success of Christopher Nolan's film "Oppenheimer," Rajagopala Chidambaram has spoken his opinions on the subject. The movie is rekindling interest in the history and development of the atomic bomb among the general population.

Rajagopala Chidambaram, a former chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission who was instrumental in India's first nuclear test at Pokhran in May 1998, has criticised the US for the way it treated and degraded Robert Oppenheimer, the man who invented the atomic bomb. The Times of India quoted him as saying, "India will never treat its scientists like this."

In light of the worldwide success of Christopher Nolan's film "Oppenheimer," Rajagopala Chidambaram has spoken his opinions on the subject. The movie is rekindling interest in the history and development of the atomic bomb among the general population. Chidambaram claimed to have recently seen the movie with his daughter and gave it a thumbs up.

The United States had taken Robert Oppenheimer's protection away.

Due to his left-leaning political views, Robert Oppenheimer lost his security in 1954 during the US Atomic Energy Commission hearings. Additionally, the US believed Oppenheimer had manipulated his work on the hydrogen bomb.

However, US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm overturned that judgement on December 16, 2022, claiming that the 1954 decision against Robert Oppenheimer was the result of a "flawed process."

Oppenheimer was characterised by Rajagopala Chidambaram as a talented scientist who received unfair treatment from the US administration. When questioned if the American nuclear physicist ought to have accepted Jawaharlal Nehru and Homi Bhabha's offer to travel to and reside in India? He declared, "It is my personal opinion that Nehru and Bhabha could not invite him to India because of the political implications."

'India Rising: Memoir of a Scientist' was co-written by Rajagopala Chidambaram.

Co-author of the recently published book "India Rising: Memoir of a Scientist" is Rajagopala Chidambaram. This book was co-written by him and Suresh Gangotra. In a Jewish household in New York City, Robert Oppenheimer was born on April 22, 1904, in the United States. Oppenheimer completed his studies in theoretical physics at Cambridge University and Godingen University in Germany after completing his chemistry degree at Harvard University. At the young age of 23, Robert Oppenheimer had already received his PhD. Geeta was someone he admired.

In Princeton, New Jersey, on February 18, 1967, he passed away at the age of 62. His throat cancer was a serious condition. In a 1960s interview, Oppenheimer said that as the atom bomb detonated for the first time, a line from the Hindu text Gita entered his consciousness. I am now Kaal who destroys the lokas (worlds), he had declared in an English-language interview, alluding to the Gita passage. Actually, he was referring to the Gita's 32nd verse, which begins, "Kaal: Asmi Lokakshayakritpravidho Lokansamahartumih Pravrtta:," in the 11th chapter.
