in 'the man who knew infinity', kanigel quotes a european or american mathematician (who he does not name) as saying that Srinivas Ramanujan was the one really great mathematician India has produced in the last thousand years.

--> the point is that at one time we were the world leaders in science and maths. how did we fall so far behind? This leads one to the Needham Question:
“With the appearance on the scene of intensive studies of mathematics, science, technology and medicine in the great non-European civilisations, debate is likely to sharpen, for the failure of China and India to give rise to distinctively modern science while being ahead of Europe for fourteen previous centuries is going to take some explaining”.
