Re: [Goanet] 'You are my son's discovery'
C. V. Raman was Indian and dark. So it is unlikely that he would have objected to both characteristics. Raman chose his own bride and married a woman from a different sub-caste against the wishes of his mother. Like him his father had no problem with his marital discovery.
