Correction

In the article Anzac Day 2016 in our April issue, the image of Lt Col Jimmy Passan (Retd) was incorrectly captioned as Col Subroto Ghosh (retd). The error occurred inadvertently and is regretted. Lt Col Jimmy Passan (Retd) is President of the South Australian Defence Veterans Association Inc (SAIDVA), the body that organised the Indian veterans' participation at this year's Anzac Day parade and commemoration.

Anu Shlvaram wrote: A well-deserved recognition to the mathematical genius Srinivas andhis namesake and equally talented SydneySrinivas. Your enthusiasm is infectious, Srinivas. May your tribe increase!

DrNagavenl wrote: Dr Srinivas, I just read the Link article. Congratulations on your excellent painstaking work regarding the great Ramanujan. It is not only inspirational but delightful and a pleasure to read. Your time and effort is very well spent. You have made a great contribution to information regarding the great man. The Link article is written in a flowing manner giving a glowing description of the great Ramanujan. It holds the reader's attention until the end. I rememberreading something regarding him being supportedby a scientist/mathematician in England in a police case.The book was either the bio of CV Raman or Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. Chakravartl Madhusudana wrote: A well-written, detailed article.I enjoyed reading it. I think Indian Link is wrong in calling you Ramanujan's namesake inasmuch as Srinivas was Ramanujan's father's name. Also the equations have not been printed out correctly. Congratulations once again on your considerable efforts to bring this movie for the benefit of the greater Sydney audience.

ShubhaChandra wrote: Srinivas, I wanted to write to thank you for all the trouble you took to organise the special screening of the movie. The thing that impressed me in the movie was not just Ramanujan's intelligence and the tragic life, but Prof. Hardy's character as well, the way he not only recognises Ramanujan's gift, but how he gets him to do it the logical way and show the 'proof' so that today there is something that has become useful forfurther studies. As tragic as Ramanujan's life was, there is the work that he has left behind which will be usefulforever. By the way, the article in IndianLink has made quite a few people aware of the movie and they are planning to see it at their convenience. Well done.
