The supporters of CNR Rao, please respond to me with facts, without using disrespectful words. The academic honesty of CNR Rao has always been suspect. Decades ago, when polywater was considered the greatest finding in chemistry in a century, Rao became a pioneer researcher in that field. When polywater proved to a hoax, no one questioned Rao's integrity in publishing fake results in India. Much later when cold fusion appeared to be a great discovery, Rao started claiming that he had independently observed that effect. Now we all know that the discovery was a scientific fraud. But none of these lowered the influence of Rao with the politicians in power. Rao is responsible for the regionalism in science in India. Because of scientists like him, the Indian scientific journals have no international reputation. While he and his cronies control Indian Journals, they do not publish their good work there. Scientists put his name on their papers, hoping rewards because of his proximity with power. He is very unlike Sir CV Raman or Sir KS Krishnan. Publishing more than one paper every week while having too many administrative responsibilities is humanly impossible. Obviously he makes little contribution. Is this way to earn credit for doing science? Remove him from the position of power, and he will not be able to publish even one paper a year. His numerous papers on polywater and cold fusion of the past are complete academic fraud. None of his supporters are talking about that. But instead of being disgraced, he kept on gathering honors and power in India, thanks to the politicians he befriended. The plagiarism being discussed here is comparatively minor when one looks at his complete record to date. ' Nobody can hurt me without my permission |
