The Nobel Lectures of India s Laureates brings together the lectures delivered by nine Indian Nobel Prize winners Rabindranath Tagore (1913), C. V. Raman (1930), Har Gobind Khorana (1968), Mother Teresa (1979), Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (1983), Amartya Sen (1998), Venkatraman Ramakrishnan (2009), Kailash Satyarthi (2014), and Abhijit V.

Spanning literature, physics, medicine, economics, chemistry, and peace, these lectures offer remarkable insights into the work of each of the laureates from Tagore s reflections on literature, nation, and nature, and Mother Teresa s call to serve humanity, to Satyarthi s fight for children s rights; from Raman s discovery of the scattering of light and Chandrasekhar s study of the evolution of stars, to Khorana s work on the genetic code and Ramakrishnan s study of the ribosome; from Sen s contributions to welfare economics to Banerjee s experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.

Together, these nine lectures reveal the breadth of their achievements and present an opportunity to get to know their ideas and fields of study in great detail, and understand their work that has shaped some of the most consequential developments in the modern age.
