How come the fact that he was a fat fuck is not common knowledge?

He was too smart for his race so his body deteriorated.

>he is the sole reason people are starving in india

The fact that he was fat is not widely known is because he himself is not really a widely known figure. Outside the world of leftist internet pop-science nobody cares about a random indian guy who happened to be good in maths but wasn't exceptional in any way that would justify the adoration he has received.

Well he was put on Indian currency so I assume he's much better known over there. And maybe they do know.

Isn't it common knowledge? I thought it was, but only if you read Kanigel's book.

Anyways back then I think being fat might have been a sign of health, even in England. When he was ill, he became very thin.

You're clearly not a math major. Anyone who has done research in mathematics has probably heard of him, especially in the more abstract fields like number theory.

It was on a stamp, not a bill.

Can you become that fat being a vegetarian?
In the movie Ramanujan was pictured as starving on a bland broth diet.

How come there are no Pakistani mathematicians?

He started eating little when he moved to England since his caste didn't allow him to eat food (even vegetarian) prepared by a non-Brahmin.

Once he drank a certain beverage which he was promised to contain only vegetarian ingredients, he read the packaging afterwards and it said that it may contain meat products. He immediately ran and a bomb struck nearby (for context this was during WWI). He thought his God was trying to punish him.

What? The average educated Indian knows who Ramanujan is, and the average mathematician knows who he is.

If you're asking me why it isn't known that Ramanujan was fat, it was probably overlooked. In his graduation image (when he got his bachelor's from Trinity College, Cambridge), he was fat then as well. Probably becoming thinner or malnourished since he ate little and didn't go outside much.

Kek, in the movie he was played by some skinny pajeet.
