Abstract: Abstract Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (C.V. Raman) was born on 7 November 1888, in a village called Tiruvanaikkaval in the present state of Tamil Nadu. His father Chandrasekhara Iyer came from an agrarian Brahmin family but had the courage and determination to break away from the age-old family tradition. He received Western education and became a teacher. Raman’s father had studied Science and Mathematics.
