It is nice to see the two of them together. They are both young, barely 40 years of age and neither of them went to IIT. One is a Professor of Mathematics at Princeton and the other has been teaching Mathematics to bright but poor students in the backwaters of Bihar. Manjul Bhargava, the Canadian-American and the winner of the Fields Medal, the equivalent of the Nobel in Mathematics, and Anand Kumar, better known as one who has been helping students from poor families crack the IIT Joint Entrance Examination, have only one thing in common, their passion for Mathematics. The Canadian-American of course has had a more privileged upbringing and possibly only the accident of birth has kept Anand, who for some time had to work in the Posts & Telegraph Department in a Class III job and deliver wafers (papad) on his bicycle to make ends meet, from distinguishing himself internationally.
