Srinivasa Ramanujan was not just a mathematician—he was a phenomenon. Born into extreme poverty in Kumbakonam, India, Ramanujan was a self-taught mathematical genius whose intuition reshaped modern mathematics without formal training. This video/article explores the extraordinary life, struggles, and timeless legacy of one of the greatest minds the world has ever known.
From his groundbreaking work in number theory, infinite series, modular equations, and mock theta functions, to his historic collaboration with G.H. Hardy at Cambridge University, Ramanujan’s journey bridged continents, cultures, and academic traditions. His elevation as a Fellow of the Royal Society stands as a rare honour for an Indian scholar during the colonial era.
We also decode the famous Taxicab Number 1729, a symbol of Ramanujan’s intuitive brilliance, and examine the posthumous discovery of his “Lost Notebook”, which continues to inspire research in pure mathematics, string theory, and theoretical physics even today.
Beyond equations, this story reveals the human side of Ramanujan—his spiritual beliefs, devotion to mathematics, chronic illness in England, and the emotional insights shared by his wife Janaki Ammal. His short life remains a powerful reminder that genius can emerge from anywhere, even without resources or recognition.
