Nobel Laureate Sir. C. V. Raman was a towering figure in the scientific world and especially in India. He founded the Indian Academy of Sciences. He believed in holding regular meetings of the Academy in which scientists would present their latest findings. In many instances, these lectures at the Academy meetings would be published in the Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences, of which Sir C.V. was the Editor. Professor Raman was much impressed with Alladi Ramakrishnan's work in the theory of probability, and with Ramakrishnan's efforts in training students in Madras. Raman invited Ramakrishnan to give a talk at the Meeting of the Academy in Belgaum in December 1954. But he insisted that Ramakrishnan must present an original new idea there, and not report on earlier work. Ramakrishnan presented new ideas on inverse probability. Professor Raman was much impressed and had this published in the Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences in 1955 (see paper 21 in the list of Ramakrishnan's publications). Already in August 1954, Sir. C. V. Raman had sent a letter to Alladi Ramakrishnan (see attachment) in which he said that he would like to have Ramakrishnan nominated for election as Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences. After giving his talk on inverse probability at the Belgium Meeting of the Academy in December 1954, Ramakrishnan was elected Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences in January 1955 (see letter below).
