The famous 1913 letter contained theorems on infinite series and number theory, which astonished Hardy and began their collaboration. But its fame as a lone genius story bothers me—even Ramanujan needed Hardy's institutional access in Cambridge to fully flourish. I see this on our cashew farm: talent in my father is abundant, but without support for water or fair prices, what to do? A genius needs a system that believes in him, not just notebooks sent into the void.
