The mathematics genius
Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was born in Erode. He lived a very short span
of 32 years, for that we curse nature forever! He has immensely contributed to
the world of mathematics quite miraculously on which the world talents still
discover the meanings. His life was full of struggle with abject poverty and number
games with scientific meanings with abreast fire in thinking for thoughts. He
gave a new infinite definition to zero! But the killer nature gave 94 years of
long life to his wife Janakiammal Ramanujan (1899- 1994) but not without
strives for better living. She had decades of tailoring of painful life with
poverty before receiving recognition along with for her revered husband from
governments and scientific community across countries.
The self-respect
crusader E.V.Ramasamy (1879-1973) known as Periyar who lived a long life of 94
years was born in Erode in a wealthy family. Periyar’s quest was to demystify
the Hindu traditions under the lenses of communists’ ideology. The social
milieus of the early part of the twentieth century forced Periyar to be of
progressive in the social discourse which he took frantically with the engine
of egos than sound reasoning. Great Tamil Scholar K.A.P.Viswanatham was statute
critic of Periyar and wrote a list of 14 compliant against EVR for entrusting
him as president of Justice Party.
