A great mathematician legend from Bihar who worked for NASA in landing of first man on moon and also achieved breakthrough in mathematics died yesterday. Suffering from schizophrenia he left academics and returned to his village Bhojpur. No one was there to look after him. He just solve problems regularly and used to teach some poor kids. Although living in poor conditions, he never complained. No one came from any authority to atleast check on him.It just feels like he had been used and thrown . He died lying on a stretcher outside hospital. No ambulance or any service was provided by government . This is truly nadir of our society.
May his soul rest in peace. A true inspiration- Vashishtha Narayan singh
@Warhorse Thanks for posting it. Great, if very sad, story.
Similarly to what happened to Alan Turing, lead to suicide by harassment over his sexual orientation. A huge loss.
@design_RG @Warhorse These are both tragic stories of these brilliant mathematicians and people who should be celebrated as heroes. Let's always look forward and work hard towards a society where we support and take care of each other!
@salad_bar_breath @design_RG These people are so selfless. Giving everything to society and expect nothing . Yes we need better moral standards for our society
