Couple brings Sikh art into permanent collection at Montreal’s Fine Arts Museum

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) has launched a new, permanent collection of Sikh art in its Arts of One World Wing. Most of the items were donated from the collection of Narinder Singh Kapany, known as the father of fiber optics, with the help of Mandeep Roshi Chadha, a former museum board member who is now vice-chair of the board of trustees for the National Gallery of Canada. “What does…

Damage limitation at Imperial

The Royal College of Science building, now home to part of Imperial’s Chemistry Department Disaster has been averted at Imperial. But much damage has been done, the group appointed to implement the decisions taken faces an impossible task, and the process has aggravated the very problem that it was meant to address. For months, as I described elsewhere earlier,  Imperial College has been…

Father of Fibres

Although many scientists experimented with sending light down thin fibres of glass by refracting or bending its path, it wasn’t until 1953 that a flexible bundle of around 10,000 fibres – a 'fibrescope' – carried clear images over a short distance. In perfecting these techniques, Narinder Singh Kapany – born on this day in 1926 – is regarded as the “Father of Fiber Optics". His ideas inspired the first fibre optic gastroscope, fetching images from deep inside the human body and paving the way for modern key-hole surgery. Elsewhere fibre optics is used for high-speed communication, and in engineering, allowing – just as in the human body – a window on the workings of internal structures. Professor Kapany’s work is also perhaps a reminder for young scientists to question everything – “One day the professor told us that light ‘always travels in a straight line’. But that can’t be true, I thought – it must be bent sometimes”.

Welcoming the honour for his father, LJP chief Chirag Paswan told TOI: “It’s an extremely proud moment for the family and the party as well. It’s a very emotional moment and we are remembering and missing papa. I thank the Central government, President, Prime Minister and home minister for recognizing his effort for the weaker and downtrodden sections of the society”. The 10 Padma Bhushan awardees this year include Tarun Gogoi, a former Congress chief minister of Assam that is due for assembly polls in April; Islamic spiritual leader Kalbe Sadiq (posthumous); former MP and ex-chairman of National Commission for Minorities Tarlochan Singh who has done great work for Sikh community; famous playback singer Krishnan Nair Shandakumar Chithra; Kannada poet and playwright Chandrashekhar Kambara; and Maharashtra-based industrialist Rajnikant Devidas Shroff.

Narinder S. Kapany, ‘Father of Fiber Optics,’ Dies at 94

Narinder Singh Kapany was born on Oct. 31, 1926, in Moga, a town in Punjab, in northwest India, and raised in Dehradun, about 200 miles to the east. His father, Sundar Singh Kapany, worked in the coal industry; his mother, Kundan Kaur Kapany, was a homemaker. After graduating from Agra University (now Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University), he worked for a government munitions factory in Dehradun before moving to England.

Despite his love for research, Dr. Kapany had never planned on becoming an academic scientist. He had originally moved to Britain for an internship at an optics firm in Scotland, to learn skills he could use in starting his own company back in India. But the opportunity to work with Professor Hopkins, a towering figure in the world of optics, was too tempting to resist.

Their relationship, however, though fruitful, proved unstable: Both were physically imposing men with outsize personalities, and they fell out soon after publishing their seminal paper in Nature. Professor Hopkins accused Dr. Kapany of overstating his contribution; Dr. Kapany retorted that only he was able to turn the professor’s chalkboard musings into reality.

In 1954, soon after the Nature article appeared, Dr. Kapany married Satinder Kaur, like him an Indian native, who was studying dance in London. The next year the two sailed to New York after he was offered a job at the University of Rochester and a consulting contract with Bausch & Lomb, the eye care company.

Two years later, after the birth of their son, Raj, the Kapanys moved to Illinois, where Dr. Kapany took a job teaching at the Illinois Institute of Technology and where their daughter, Kiran, was born.

Satinder Kapany died in 2016. Dr. Kapany is survived by his two children and four grandchildren.

Dr. Kapany cut a dashing figure around the Chicago social scene — his jackets custom made and slimly cut, his beard knotted tight to his chin and his mustache manicured “like David Niven’s,” his son said, referring to the British actor.
