Scientists in Switzerland have announced that they have indeed found the God Particle, crucial to understanding how the universe is built. But did people know there's an Indian angle to all off this?

No, not that Indians, like all of us, live in the universe. The long-sought particle, known as Higgs boson, is partly named for an Indian scientist. The scientist in question, Satyendra Nath Bose, worked with Albert Einstein in the 1920s and made discoveries that led to a kind of particle being named for him.
