   In the entire list of “Important Discoveries in Physics by Famous Scientist in Year”, only one Indian name is found that is of C.V. Raman. Your list projects that India is not able to make any discovery in any field after Raman Effect by C.V. Raman in 1928 despite large number of talented well trained scientists working hard in eminent institutions. It is not factual. Your website needs update if intended for students.
   India might have made discoveries in every field. Generally, seniors take credit and suppress the discoveries without giving due recognition to the concerned scientists. View my comment 29929 in the article Experience counts for Nobel laureates published in Nature on 7 November 2011: http://www.nature.com/news/2011/111107/full/news.2011.632.html
   “DESPITE OFFICIAL LABORATORY REPORT ON MY DISCOVERY, MY ANNUAL CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS WERE DOWNGRADED BY MY SENIORS. AS A RESULT, I WAS NOT ALLOWED EVEN TO ATTEND INTERVIEW FOR MY ROUTINE PROMOTION TO THE NEXT RANK SC F IN 1997, SO I HAD TO RETIRE WITHOUT MY ROUTINE PROMOTION AND WITH FAR LESS RETIREMENT BENEFITS. The Technical Report No: DLJ/ IL/ 97/ 7 was buried long ago and the Defence laboratory at Jodhpur or the parent organization D.R.D.O. never declared officially to Government of India that physics discoveries were done by its scientist. Today, no authentic official record is available with the Government of India that such physics discoveries were ever made in its own laboratory. No Indian official speak of these discoveries. That is how discoveries done in countries like India are reburied and neither get nominated to Nobel Committee nor come under your statistics”

   The research work that lasted 21 years claiming six fundamental physics discoveries was published last year in 2010: M A Padmanabha Rao, UV dominant optical emission newly detected from radioisotopes and XRF sources, Brazilian Journal of Physics, vol. 40, no. 1, March 2010, http://www.sbfisica.org.br/bjp/files/v40_38.pdf

   Slashdot Poll predicted Bharat Radiation might get Nobel Prize after Medicine in 2008: Oct 6, 2008  Which discovery deserves the Nobel Prize for Physics this year? http://slashdot.org/pollBooth.pl?qid=1651&aid=7&reskey=&from=rss

   I have no hope that any illustrious physicist from India will come forward to nominate this research work to Nobel Committee before Feb 2012.
