Thanks for that name-check, what an extraordinary man he was!

'Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation. According to Hans Eysenck, "he tried to interest the leading professional mathematicians in his work, but failed for the most part. What he had to show them was too novel, too unfamiliar, and additionally presented in unusual ways; they could not be bothered".'

Ramanujan could easily have lived and died without recognition of his abilities.
