> Ramanujan belongs to a caste in India that is only caste that is supposed to be educated (Representing probably < 5% of population) in those days.

This is a late missionary-colonial myth that has been "secularized" by the South-Asia studies dept. in their eternal pursuit of destroying Indian civilization. The British, thankfully, judiciously collected records to prove that this is a big fat lie.

In fact, their records not only show that most village schools were majorly filled with 'Shudras', but also that the equivalent of 'grad-schools' had 'Shudra' teachers.

Hardly surprising since Aryabhata, perhaps a greater Mathematician, and the progenitor of Calculus itself, was one of the said 'Shudras' (atleast certainly not a "evil dirty hook-nosed" Brahmin).

Fascinating though how the cunning Jew meme lives on in so many ways... The Nazi-esque DMK that runs Tamil Nadu was very fond of this as well, and wanted to massacre his tribe too like the Nazis (except ofc. when so-called 'paapans' are great well-known folks like Ramanujan, or say the CEO/CTOs of Google). Unsuprisingly, avowed Nazis like this (there are enough records of the founder being a great admirer of Hitler and of his 'final-solution' - after WW2 ended), like in Ukraine are great friends of the Western establishment.

Can you share any links which can help me read up more on this?

Also, a cursory search on internet doesn't brings anything conclusive about Aryabhata being a Shudra.

Who are you referring to, specifically?

Except the groups the article refers to are quite marginal, have no influence in government, are a certainly not "great friends of the Western establishment".

Basically a propaganda piece, designed to push your buttons. And not surprisingly, published originally in RT.

No one has time to follow your random links. If you can't put what you have to say about a topic in your own words -- then you don't have anything to say.

And the goalposts, they are a-changin.

I don't see any goal to your posts at all, other than to poke people with purely emotional imagery.

What a piece of Russian-funded propaganda.

That is funny how russians claim everyone of their enemy is a Nazi.

While real white supremacists with swastika tattoos are fighting in the Russian side, just to have an opportunity to make money while doing atrocities.
