Uli Beisel & Christophe Boete on Kishori Mohan Bandyopadhyay

In their research paper titled "The Flying Public Health Tool : Genetically Modified Mosquitoes and Malaria Control" published in 'Science as Culture' Volume 22 No 1.  2013, ( pages 38 - 60 ) from Lancaster, UK, Dr Uli Beisel and Dr Christophe Boete have elaborated upon the reasons as to why Kishori Mohan Bandyopadhyay was not awarded the Nobel Prize along with Ronald Ross. There are attempts by   anti-India vested interests to suppress the observations made by Dr Beisel and Dr Boete. It is obvious that Imperialism is still having its sway.

Kishori Mohan Bandyopadhyay tries to become a lawyer for his source of income

Ronald Ross has picked up Kishori Mohan Bandyopadhyay from among the students of Calcutta University. Ross did not allow Bandyopadhyay till his dream is fulfilled. As a result Bandyopadhyay had to postpone his examination several times. He could appear for his graduate examination only after Ross left India. Thereafter he could not get a job and life became very difficult for him. His friend Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy and others advised him to study law  and become a lawyer as the vocation was considered to be a good earner. He studied law. However due to his preoccupation with social service he did not become a lawyer and instead preferred visiting villages for malaria eradication drive. Here are his law certificates from Calcutta University.
