'सबसे उत्तेजक और बौद्धिक रूप से उत्साही चर्चाओं' में से एक माना गया। इन दोनों की यह बात-चीत जल्दी ही उस दौर की मीडिया में सनसनी बन गयी थी। कई प्रकाशनों के पास इसकी रिकॉर्डिंग भी थी। द न्यूयॉर्क टाइम्स ने 'आइंस्टीन और टैगोर प्लंब द ट्रुथ' शीर्षक के साथ एक लेख लिखा

The year was 1893. A young monk from India opened the World’s Parliament of Religions with an electrifying speech that brought the assembled representatives of the world’s major faiths to their feet.
The monk was Vivekananda, who had come to Chicago without a formal connection to the parliament but nonetheless managed to secure an invitation to give not only an opening address but several more speeches.
More than 6,000 people crowded into the assembly hall of the Permanent Memorial Art Palace, now the Art Institute of Chicago, to hear the young man speak.
Passionately and eloquently, Vivekananda called for the end of religious bigotry and intolerance.

And, more importantly, a scholarship allowing him to study at the Government Arts College in the town of Kumbakonam.
Despite being a mathematical prodigy, Ramanujan's career did not begin well.

India's greatest mathematical genius, Srinivasa Ramanujan, lived a short but very productive life and continues to be an inspiration for mathematicians across the world, and his work has inspired a lot of research over the years.
The Better India pays homage to this special man with 5 little-known facts about his life.
- Ramanujan was one of several siblings, but he lost all of them to a smallpox epidemic in 1889.

In 1868, after graduating from the University of Calcutta, he travelled to England along with Romesh Chunder Dutt and Behari Lal Gupta to appear for the ICS exams. Though he passed the exam in 1869, he was dismissed because of a dispute over his proper age.
After this matter was sorted out in a court of law, Banerjee reappeared for the exam and again cleared it in 1871. He was appointed as the assistant magistrate in Sylhet but was chucked out due to racial discrimination.
