The collection of specimens in his museum and his reputation as the greatest scientist of India attracted many visitors from around the world to Raman’s institute. But not all were welcome. Proposals made by government representatives to offer Raman the much-needed funds, only if he could in exchange provide the government with certain kinds of research helpful for Defence Ministry, had enraged him. He had developed a natural distrust and aversion towards politicians.

The warmest welcome received at this institute was by Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar, to whom Raman rolled out a red carpet. The former Maharaja of Mysore, whose patronage for science and art had won Raman’s reverence, had then accepted the Governorship of Madras after independence when princely states were no more and Mysore kingdom had become Karnataka state.
