C. V. Raman - The Great Indian Physicist.

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, FRS (7 November 1888 21 
November 1970) was an Indian physicist. He was the recipient of 
the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light
 traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected 
changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman 
scattering and is the result of the Raman effect

The original picture of Jhansi Rani Laxmi Bai. This picture has been 
taken by German photographer Hoffman 160 years ago.

This was how the Taj Mahal was protected from bomber jets in 1942 
during world war.It was covered with huge scaffold, to make it look
 like a stockpile of bamboo and misguide bombers.

The covering is still incomplete in this photo. The whole of Taj Mahal 
was covered but this picture shows only the main dome covered. The
 govt. didnt allow any photographers later to shoot the final scaffold cover.

During the India-Pakistan war in 1971, it was protected by covering it
 with a green cloth and making it almost invisible i.e. camouflaged within
 the greenery around it. Even in 2001, after the Sep 11 attack, 
Archaeological Survey of India took up the precautionary measure to cover
 it with cloth and it took them more than 20 days to do that!!
