One of the earnest promoters of science in India was late Babu Lal Saraf of the Physics Department, Rajasthan University, Jaipur. He once remarked, "Alright tell me honestly how many new scientific terms have we introduced after independence?" The answer must have been non-zero but not high enough so no one took up the challenge to enumerate. This was a few decades ago. Situation is not much better now either. But then there are exceptions. A string theorist Samir Mathur has developed an idea-that the black holes are actually fuzzballs. Here is the latest link. Here is an earlier one. And one more. Then you take off. Up, up and away.
