What is the point of digging and placing all this information? These same chaps world famous or whatever have no culture. I have heard of horrendous stories of indians coming to Macau. Like Santosh remarks to Nasci - I am ashamed of being an indian.
BC Ramanujan has been regarded by the rest of the world as one of the pre-eminent mathematical geniuses of all time. His original discoveries have led to the birth of severe new disciplines of mathematical research. An entire scholarly journal called "The Ramanujan Journal" is being published bimonthly since 1997 to report on original research stemming from his discoveries. Here is a description of that journal and a link to it: QUOTE The remarkable discoveries made by Srinivasa Ramanujan have made a great impact on several branches of mathematics, revealing deep and fundamental connections. This journal publishes papers of the highest quality in all areas of mathematics influenced by Ramanujan, including: Hyper-geometric and basic hyper-geometric series (q-series) * Partitions, compositions and combinatory analysis * Circle method and asymptotic formulae * Mock theta functions * Elliptic and theta functions * Modular forms and automorphic functions * Special functions and definite integrals * Continued fractions * Diophantine analysis including irrationality and transcendence * Number theory * Fourier analysis with applications to number theory * Connections between Lie algebras and q-series.
