Scientist Partho Sarothi Ray, just out after spending 10 days in jail, says he refused two job offers in the US and came back instead to teach and train scientists in his state, West Bengal. Back in Bengal however, he says these are "dark days", with "an atmosphere of intolerance". He has also warned that his ordeal will send out a "bad message to others."
