Professor Amiya Kumar Bagchi, who passed away on Thursday (November 28, 2024) evening, was one of the most outstanding economists, scholars, and public intellectuals of our time. A rebel all his life, he left the college where he had been admitted originally for speaking out against some injustice, and joined Presidency College, Kolkata, which had a freer atmosphere. After his Master’s in economics from Presidency, he went to Cambridge University on a West Bengal government scholarship, where he not only finished his doctoral work but also joined the Faculty of Economics and Politics, with a Fellowship at Jesus College.

He had started out as a mathematical economist, in fact a Game Theorist, but changed course while writing his Ph.D. dissertation and, and on the advice of one of his mentors, turned to economic history, a turn for which we must be highly grateful. He was not an economic historian in the narrow sense; rather, he was a macroeconomist working on historical data.

IIT Kanpur has introduced a groundbreaking innovation in stealth technology with its Anālaká¹£hya Metamaterial Surface Cloaking System (MSCS). This cutting-edge system is designed to make objects almost invisible to radar, offering significant advancements in defence and national security.

Developed by a team of researchers and students from IIT Kanpur, the Anālaká¹£hya MSCS is a textile-based broadband metamaterial microwave absorber.

Its unique capability lies in its ability to absorb radar waves across a wide spectrum, rendering Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging ineffective.
