| Abstract: | Three extraordinary physics discoveries were made in colonial India, which did not have any tradition of research in modern physics: Saha ionization equation (1920), Bose statistics (1924), and Raman effect (1928). All three discoverers were founding faculty members of the new small physics department of Calcutta1 University, which started functioning in 1916. These discoveries were all on the general topic of interaction between matter and radiation. In this Part (Part 1 of a two-article series), I describe the social and intellectual environment in which these discoveries were made. Part 2 will focus on the science involved in these discoveries.
