个人简介
Professor Baldev Singh, often referred to as 'grandfather
neuron', left for his heavenly abode on 2 February 1998 after a
brief illness. Born on 6 April 1904 in an affluent, but not
intellectually oriented family, he demonstrated love for learning
quite early in life. He won a scholarship in Class VIII, and topped
in his school in Class X. His elder brother was very much interested
in his going in ·for medicine. His wishes were fulfilled when young
Baldev Singh entered King Edward Medical College at Lahore. He
graduated with flying colours in 1927. During his stay at medical
school, he won several medals, a process which continued till the
end of his career. He got married in 1928 but his appetite for
knowledge was not yet satisfied. He left for U.K. in 1929 and
made a mark there as a very industrious student. He sailed through
the MRCP examination in 1930 in the very first attempt. He returned to India and set up
his practice in his village near Amritsar in 1931. In an era when every practitioner also
had a pharmacy, he set up a purely consultation type of practice. Within a few years, he
had a flourishing practice. Those who knew him only in his later days as a simple and
humble man can scarcely imagine that as a successful practitioner, he was immaculately
attired in pin stripes and a solo hat, sported a golden pocket watch, wore gleaming shoes
and travelled in latest models. But few knew that his pompous exterior concealed an inner
discontent. Somewhere deep within he knew that his destiny lay elsewhere. Something
different, something intellectually more satisfying, kept haunting him. While he practised,
he also kept visiting the medical school to collaborate in research projects. In 1949, after
18 years of busy practice, he took an unconventional decision: to stop the practice, and
specialize further. He was 45 then; an age at which most people start making plans for
retirement, he decided to become a full-time student again. The field in which he chose
to specialize was a natural decision based on his long standing interest in nervous system.
He traced his liking for nervous system to school days. In classes IX and X, he was
inspired by a teacher, Mr. Mohan Lal Bhalla, who was particularly interested in nervous
system. As luck would have it, when he joined medical school, he was taught by Prof. P. B.
Bharucha, also a devotee of the nervous system. Finding in young Baldev Singh a bright
and dedicated student, Prof. Bharucha appointed him Prosector and made him dissect the
brain for preparing demonstration specimens for almost two years. That enhanced his
fascination for nervous system. Therefore, when he decided in 1949 to specialize further,
the choice of field was obvious.
