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

I dont know if it was a myth but they said once a few computers had gone down before a launch and Command Center quickly needed a calculation done. Vashishtha offeted to do it by hand and later when the results were tallied it was found that they were accurate.

The state never gave a shit about him.

His wife also burned his thesis.

This is how we treat our heroes.

No wonder they all keep running off to the west.

That is a really sad story, for someone so brilliant to end up the way Warhorse described. 😞

Peace be upon Him.
