Satyendra Nath Bose was one of the world’s pioneering theoretical, widely called the ‘Father of the God Particle’ for his work on the Boson, a class of particles named after him because they obey Bose–Einstein statistics. His work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s laid the foundation for Bose–Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate.

Satyendra Nath Bose, also known as SN Bose, was born on January 1, 1894, in Calcutta, the eldest and only male in a family with seven children. Bose was an alumnus of the Presidency College, where he studied an intermediate science course with Jagadish Chandra Bose and Prafulla Chandra Ray who also went on to become renowned scientists in their own rights. He was awarded with Bachelor of Science in mixed mathematics in 1913 from Presidency College and got a Master of Science in 1915 from Calcutta University.
