The Forgotten Mathematician

11 March 2021, Version 1
Working Paper
This content is an early or alternative research output and has not been peer-reviewed by Cambridge University Press at the time of posting.

Abstract

There are thousands of researchers who are still unrecognized but they had done really ground breaking works. But, due to many reasons they are in the black side of the fame. Many people do not even know their name, so it’s very much unusual to expect the knowledge of their works. Dr. Vashishtha Narayan Singh is one of them. He is famous for all his ground breaking works in mathematics, but true how many people from India even know his name. Even Government of India did not recognize this person in his life time. But finally, in 2020, he was awarded Padmashri, the fourth highest civilian award from Government of India. So, there is a big question why India and the world keep this great person unrecognized.

There are only 2 reasons of this kind of treatment towards a great personalities - (1) The media in India is engage in REEL not in the ROLE, (2) The so called responsible- politicians eye only to the number of VOTES. That is why no person - Indian by birth + citizen of India has one the Noble Prize (except in Peace). All so called Nobel Prize laureate are/were from India but not Indians by birth and domicile. As far government of concern is, they are dependent to these to 'entities' in the selection process.
