Has anyone looked into the possibility that he might have been poisoned or deliberately infected due to professional jealousy (as a great mathematician). Note, from his early photographs he appears to be in quite good / robust health. Moreover, as the above video shows, such as his wife / widow living a very long life, the TB probably was not a disease in their family. It seems he caught the whole thing / bug after going abroad and his being a vegetarian or eating only the certain foods (vegetarian) might not be the real cause behind his sickness and death.

oh wow, i think i like this line of thinking. he's so much more interesting now. oh boy, what a great story that would be.

That's right P.N.

Anyway, there is more circumstantial evidence about the possibility of foul play leading to the untimely sickness  and death of this great mathematician. There was a mention in the video about his writing home from the English Univ. (or telling people, his wife etc., after returning to India) that his health situation would become worse whenever he visited a doctor / physician  (and supposedly took the prescribed medicine) while he was living abroad.

It was not just the disease (whatever, not necessarily the TB) which Ramanujan picked up and made him sick after arriving at the university in England for higher studies and work in mathematics, in spite of starting in the beginning in relatively good health, living and working in the clean English university environment and probably being a non-smoker and non-drinker (all the conditions not conducive to getting inflicted with the TB suddenly and quickly, in just a few years), but the cure / treatment he received to alleviate his condition also seemed to make him worse (sicker), which clearly indicates that he had picked up, accidentally or otherwise, something more serious and quickly spreading than usually would in the case of TB.

I heard that every time he goes to see a doctor, he's hopeful. But after that, he goes into despair because the doctors can't figure out what's wrong with him. If it's TB, how hard is it to diagnose TB? It's a bacterial infection. Should be so easy to detect. Maybe he was slow poisoned.
