Summary:The presentation of the work of Sir. J.C. Bose (1895, 1896, 1897,
1927) to the scientific community has resulted in a plethora of
newspaper articles which claimed that perhaps the western scientific
world of Lords Rayleigh and Kelvin which created Bose, attempted to
deprive him of his Noble Prize for his work on electromagnetic phenomena
which were carried out at the same time as that of Marconi. In view of
this, it is perhaps worthwhile to take a critical look at Sir J.C.
Boses's work on millimeter waves and appraise what the contemporary
scientists thought about it. During such a review, we found many
interesting issues which are the subject of this paper. There is no
question that the scientific community embraced Bose as a great
experimentalist. Creating accurate apparatus was his forte. However,
there appears to be some serious questions lingering on his scientific
work which was communicated to him by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William
Crooks. The objective of this article is to review that situation
