In Pharma, Gerald Posner writes about how an unlikely trio working for a small US company called Lederle discovered Aureomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic in 1948.
Before social media, depiction of violence on news was the exception—graphic visuals were either not shown on TV or in newspapers or the images were blurred. This is no longer the case.
Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
I really wonder why you guys are talking about caste.. He was an Indian and thats enough.. All castes are same.. Above all human is the the ultunate truth.. There sgould be only one caste, Indian caste.. Then only we rise again
The scientist SubbaRow was from Brahmin background. Casta has nothing to do with India, but is a system to separate Hispanics into race based systems. UK via Portugal tried to apply Casta System to Indian Varna system, complete nonsense ensued. Also Indian governance was never based on Varna system. Stop encouraging bad history and poor logic.
Just want to point out that yellapragada subbarow may not be lower caste. His last name sounds to me (a fellow Telugu person) as upper caste more specifically brahmin to me
Yes. He is hailing from a niyogi brahmin family of Bhimavaram town west godavari district andhra pradesh A great scientist acclaimed as invented penicillin…

This is all nice and his story was rare 100 years ago, but now there are thousands of Indian scientists in US universities with many discoveries and inventions, but hardly any in India.
Moral of the story is, collect data carefully and do science. Don’t still live in ayurveda or you won’t be taken seriously outside India, even today. Go wherever the data and science lead you to.
Indians today spend too much time criticizing and dismissing science to defend their superstitions and not enough time learning it.
The West created the Siestema de Casta. Only foolish Leftists in India have allowed this fiction to continue. Read Brazil’s Census Form to see what a real Casta System is like.
Not a lower caste Indian called wizard of wonder drug should have been awarded with Nobel prize
Yellapragada is a brahmin. The author may be considering him low caste due to his rejections
in US universities. And his childhood adventures with life.
For the sake of humanity he left everything, SubbaRao’s wife and children must be more happier than any. You must be happy to have aureomycine for the broad spectrum killer.
“A lower caste Indian who was rejected for tenure at Harvard”. The author is wrong. Yellapragada Subbarow was a Niyogi Brahmin. Not exactly lower caste.
Subbarao belongs to the scholarly brahmin group of andhra pradesh and author is wrong that he belongs to lower caste.
