The two important events fell in the same year namely, the 125th year of its existence since its establishment in 1876 by Dr. Mahendra Lal Sircar and the 75th year of publication of Indian Journal of Physics (IJP) since its inception in 1926 by C.

The publication of this volume containing Landmark Papers in IJP by the scientists of eminence from the year 1926 in one such step in this direction.
