J. Robert Oppenheimer is credited with being the father of the atomic bomb. When he witnessed the first nuclear explosion in the deserts of New Mexico in the USA on July 16, 1945, by his own admission he immediately thought of a verse from the Bhagavad Gita “ Now I become Death destroyer of the worlds”.
This is a reference to Chapter 11, Verse 32. Virtually all translations of the word “Kaala” in this verse render it as “Time” or “the eternal Time-Spirit”. But Oppenheimer used “Kaala” to mean “Death”. This is because he had studied Sanskrit in the early 1930s at the University of California at Berkeley under Arthur Ryder whose translation of the Bhagavad Gita had appeared in 1929. It was Ryder who had translated Kaala as Death.
Incidentally, Bakhtiar Dadabhoy in his recent biography of Homi Bhabha writes that when Oppenheimer was under attack in the early 1950s for his communist leanings Bhabha after consulting Nehru sounded him out on immigrating to India. There is really no conclusive archival evidence for this, but Bhabha may well have verbally sounded Oppenheimer out. But ironically, Bernard Peters, who was betrayed as a communist by Oppenheimer to the American authorities in 1949, was invited by Bhabha to TIFR in 1951.
Peters made very important scientific contributions in cosmic rays and nuclear research at TIFR before emigrating to Denmark. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1985.

If this does happen, I think all of us will have to acknowledge that theBrits have done something very rare in the world,to place a member of a visible minority in the most powerful office. As we Indians celebrate the ascent of @RishiSunak, let's honestly ask: can it happen here?
SDG Advocate Dia Mirza is committed to advancing children's rights & environmental conservation - two crucial areas for the #GlobalGoals.

Today in India I recalled the words of Mahatma Gandhi:
“The world has enough for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.”
The planet can support all of us – if we treat its resources with wisdom & respect.
