CV Raman delivered the official and detailed description as "A new radiation" at the South Indian Science Association meeting in Bangalore in 1928.
CV Raman had already established a name for himself, and his hosts were Nobel laureates J. J. Thomson and Lord Rutherford. Mukherjee questioned him about his future goals when he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1924, to which he answered, "The Nobel Prize, of course." He founded and served as the inaugural editor of the Indian Journal of Physics in 1926. The Raman effect was discovered in the second volume of the magazine, which contained his renowned essay "A new radiation."
