You're right, some Indians don't have the recognition they deserve, but if it makes you feel better, few "western" mathematicians or scientists are household names either.
- esperent 2y agoHowever, pretty much all of the ones who are household names, are western. Well, at least to western people. Are Indians more familiar with Indian scientists?
- your_challenger 2y agoAmoung the people who are interested in science? Yes. But to the general public? No. I don't think a non STEM guy would know Ramanujan or C V Raman.
- noisy_boy 2y agoC V Raman's name is known via school text books; though granted that few would remember it unless they carry on with STEM.
- Lutger 2y agoHousehold names (in the west) are maybe Aristotle, Galileo, Newton and Einstein. If you are lucky. For a lot of people it is just Einstein, that's it.
