While admiring the findings of Dr.Zhang, we need not rush to make
comparison with Ramanujan.That has been our tendency and by this mental
adjustment, we have a satisfaction that we are not lesser than anybody
else. If we escalate the comparison, there are countless other
mathematicians.

P.Radhakrishnan



It is like calling C.N. Annadurai as South India's Gandhi.

We have a tendency to gain recognition and make ourselves feel good by often comparing ourselves with (much) lesser mortals recognized by the West.

Even Dr. Zhang will be embarrassed by this comparison.
