Indian mathematicians

Ramanujan was deeply inspired.  He was religious.  Professor Hardy was moved by his ideas and brought him to Cambridge University.  Ramanujan is famous for Ramanujan Sato series,  Ramanujan Tau functions,  Ramanujan theta functions.  Two constants are named after him. He has many many beautiful expressions which stimulates interest to mathematicians.  He has lot of theories which are puzzling even today.

Harish-Chandra was a great guy. He had a lot to say in mathematics in terms of expressions.  He was damn good when I see his work in Wikipedia.  He was unlucky to miss the Fields medal in 1958.

Madhava of Sangamagrama was a brilliant man. He made pi by 4 formula which is called Madhava- Leibniz pi formula.  He made a lot of contributions to circular functions.
