#TodayInHistory Ford Motors announces an 8 hour workday, as well as setting the minimum wage at 5$ per day, in 1914, one radical step, that shot up it's productivity and proft, forcing it's competitors to follow suit.
Wall Street Journal on Ford's decision-
"To apply biblical or spiritual principles into a field where they do not belong ... (Ford has) committed economic blunders, if not crimes."
Ford doubled their profits, media as usual never get it's right.

Sadly his poor health meant Ramanujan had to return back to India, and he passed away in Kumbakonam on April 26, 1920, he was just 32, a beautiful mind, that left the world at a very young age.
However his wife Janaki Ammal, took up the cause of her husband’s work. Though having no children, she adopted Narayanan in 1950 who later became an officer with SBI. And ensured his work reached public. #SrinivasaRamanujan

In March 1916, Ramanujan was awarded the Doctorate for his research on highly composite numbers. Hardy later remarked that this was one of the most unusual papers he had ever seen.
Both of them had contrasting ways of working, Hardy followed the Western model of proof and rigor, and was an atheist. Ramanujan was a devout believer and often relied on intuition and gut feeling. It was the perfect mix of East and West. #SrinivasaRamanujan

Some of his friends like Spring, Narayana Iyer, Ramachandra Rao and Middlemast, helped him to send his work for Cambridge University, but he was rejected due to lack of formal educational qualifications.
In 1913 Middlemast, Narayana Iyer and Ramachandra Rao, presented Ramanujan’s work to British mathematicians. MJM Hill rejected him saying that though he was talented, he did not have a formal educational background, but he gave him valuable suggestions.

In 1912, he applied for the post of a clerk in Accounts Dept at Madras Port Trust, with a letter of recommendation from his Maths Professor, E.W.Middlemast at Presidency which ensured he got the job.
During his spare time, he would still continue his research in mathematics. He was encouraged by his boss, Sir Francis Spring and his colleague, S.Narayana Iyer. #SrinivasaRamanujan

He however wanted a regular job to make ends meet, Iyer felt that a genius like him should not be wasted in clerical jobs. He sent letters to his friends in Madras, one of em was R.Ramachandra Rao, the district collector of Nellore.
I was struck by the extraordinary mathematical results contained in the notebooks. I had no mind to smother his genius by an appointment in the lowest rungs of the revenue department. -R.Ramachandra Rao on #SrinivasaRamanujan

The book that influenced Ramanujan the most though was Synopsis of Pure Mathematics by G.K.Carr that had around 5000 theorems, when he was 16. .The book a collection of around 5000 theorems, stoked his curiosity, made him explore mathematics much more deeper.
The following year, Ramanujan, developed and investigated the Bernoulli numbers, calculated the Euler-Mascheroni constant up to 15 decimal places, winning him a new found respect among his peers. #SrinivasaRamanujan

The Man Who Knew Infinity, birth anniversary of #SrinivasaRamanujan today, one of the greatest mathematicians of modern era, a genius like none other, a true maverick.
The world of mathematics owes a great debt to India , because this is the land from which the basic theories of mathematics have originated. Aryabhatta who contributed the number-place value system and the concept of zero, as well as calculating the area of the triangle.

There is a lot more to be said,but the sight of Warren Anderson, the Union Carbide chairman being escorted out of the country, with the help of the Government then, was rankling. In any law abiding country, Warren Anderson, would have been made to face the full force of law and prosecution. Here he got a special flight out of the country with support from the Central Govt.
