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.
@Warhorse Librarian at my heart says, add "see also -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing "
@design_RG I have seen a movie in which Benedict Cumberbatch is playing his role..is it him?
@Warhorse Very possibly - there was a succesful film a couple of years ago or so about Bletchley Park, was a nice one.
Bing found it. "The Imitation Game"
@Warhorse Thank you, Warhorse. I like to read and learning never ends.
