The Forgotten Mathematician

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.
