Ridhdhi (Bengaluru)’s The Trial of Abdus Salam, at Bose Institute

An imagined courtroom drama that explores the genius and faith, trials and triumphs, wit and wisdom, and life and works of Abdus Salam, Pakistani Nobel Prize-winner in Physics for contributing to unifying the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces. His vision was inspired by the surahs of the Quran which spoke to him of a deep fundamental unity among all things and peoples. Yet, as an Ahmadiyya Muslim, a denomination declared non-Islamic by Pakistan, he was ostracized as a heretic and traitor, his grave in Pakistan desecrated. Written and directed by Nilanjan P. Choudhury, author of The Square Root of a Sonnet on astrophysicist S, Chandrasekhar.
