The paper discusses three major contributions in genetics research from India; Genetic and cytogenetic studies on sugarcane undertaken at the Sugarcane Breeding Institute in Coimbatore during 1912- 1938 by C. A. Barber, T. S. Venkatraman, and E. K. Janaki Ammal, the publication of D. D. Kosambi’s mapping function (1944), and the discovery of the Bombay blood group in KEM Hospital, Mumbai by Y.M. Bhende and co-workers in 1952. Most current research on these topics is now done outside India, possibly because India never developed the critical mass of researchers to sustain the early leads of these pioneers.
