Abstract: Abstract Debendra Mohan Bose was born on 26 November 1885 in an educated, cultured Brahmo family in Calcutta. His father Dr. Mohini Mohan Bose was a homoeopathic doctor trained in the USA. His mother Subarnaprova Bose was inclined towards social service and child welfare. One of his paternal uncles, Ananda Mohan Bose, was the first Indian Wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos of Cambridge University. His maternal uncle was the pioneer Indian scientist Acharya Jagadis Chandra Bose (J.C. Bose), whose discoveries in Physics and Botany are world-renowned. Since Debendra Mohan and his brother Sudhanshu Mohan lost their father at an early age, his maternal uncle Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose (J.C. Bose) closely monitored their academic upbringing.
