The Society for Shock Wave Research (India), established in the year 2003, is a professional body dedicated to disseminate and nurture the “Science and Technology of Shock Waves and related area” in the country as well as globally. This society currently located in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru is the forerunner for the International Shock Wave Institute (ISWI) established in the Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan and later shifted to Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan.

There was a Boy; ye knew him well, ye cliffs
And islands of Winander! many a time,
At evening, when the earliest stars began
To move along the edges of the hills,
.
.
Uplifted, he, as through an instrument,
Blew mimic hootings to the silent owls
.
.
.
Then sometimes, in that silence, while he hung
Listening, a gentle shock of mild surprise
.
.
.
