math or myth?

I have been thinking for a while, why after srinivasa ramanujan, no mathematical persons born in tamilnadu or india even after 100 years?
I will not call sakuntala devi as mathematician. she is a prodigy. she could tell how much is 1+1 equals but she could not tell why 1 +1 = 2. Here we need mathematical thinking.
Let me come to the main purpose of this blog.
I wish to write
how to motivate children to have mathematical thinking,
how the syllabus should be framed to make maths an interesting subject than any other subject.
how to identify another ramanujan and motivate to make him/her as another ramanujan
how mathematics can help us to solve all our issues on any subject.
readers can add some more concepts to strengthen this blog.
Before completing let me raise a simple question.
How much is 1+1 = ?

  1. Veera,

    Are you talking about 1+1 in decimal system?
    Piano's axiom will provide us the answer correct?

    Bhaskar.
