In the early decades of the twentieth century, several pioneers of modern science in India were nominated for the Fellowship of the Royal Society. Apart from those who got elected, the others who were not elected also had high reputation among their peers and were usually nominated by British scientists who were aware of their scientific contributions. This paper discusses six Indian scientists who were nominated for FRS during the era 1913–1939 but were not elected: P.C. Ray, D.N. Mallik, Raghavendra Row, N.R. Dhar, S.K. Banerjee, L.K. Ananthakrishna Iyer. In some of the cases, their nomination certificates (available at the Archives of the Royal Society) are the best compact statements of their scientific achievements, and it is not easy to find more information about some of them.

在 20 世纪的最初几十年，印度的几位现代科学先驱被提名为皇家学会会士。Apart from those who got elected, the others who were not elected also had high reputation among their peers and were usually nominated by British scientists who were aware of their scientific contributions. 本文讨论了1913-1939时代的六名印度科学家，但在1913-1939时期被提名，但没有选举：PC Ray，DN Mallik，Raghavendra Row，NR Dhar，SK Banerjee，LK Ananthakrishna Iyer。在某些情况下，他们的提名证书（可在皇家学会档案馆获得）是对他们科学成就的最简洁的陈述，要找到有关其中一些的更多信息并不容易。
