If no proof means no sophistication, then Ramanujan would be the least sophisticated. First, it is true that proofs in Indian mathematics were presented as the foundational result. But it doesn't mean there was no proof. 🧵👇🏻

Sometimes, I feel people underestimate India in many ways, just because our PR game is weak and we don't boast enough about our capabilities and what we have achieved, considering all the hate campaigns, sanctions, and psyops.
We have the capability to stand in the same league as these current giants because Indians have the ability to build things indigenously, and we don't stop or give up just because something is difficult.
The people of this nation have the brains to make things possible and to lead in terms of development because they believe they can build something, and this has been demonstrated countless times over the past several decades.
There is always criticism about how we lack in many ways, but you can never convince an entire nation that we can't build something in India or that a particular technology is beyond our reach.
