Can we learn to respect?

Why do we always fail to respect true geniuses ?

[But many don't know about this extraordinary man because In India, Mathematician live a covert life and are ultimately forgotten because of the ignorance of the Government and the media.
He is neither a celebrity nor a Cricketer !! He is just a poor Ignored Indian Genius who challenged all western Mathematician]

I have heard of him earlier and there is no doubt that he is a genius. The Bihar Govt and the Central Govt should support him financially and emotionally. He deserves a very high ranking civilian award from the Govt of India for his contribution in the field of mathematics. Unfortunately in India awards go to scientists who have contributed in physics, chemistry and biological sciences but mathematics being the mother of all sciences is ignored. I must thank you for bringing the story of this great man before all of us.

i heard from my hindi teacher.. that when Neil Armstrong went to the moon .. some problem occurred.. it was kind of related to maths.. while all the other people went on banging their minds on their computers.. he just smiled and gave the Solution to the problem..

Even when he was returning to India.. He was asked to stay but he wanted to serve his own country..

and this is what he gets in return.. Shame on us !! really heartbreaking!

Thanks!!
