Of course he was a Mathematical genius who died young and we lost his brilliant contributions....

Living in India with no access to the larger mathematical community, which was centered in Europe at the time, Ramanujam developed his own mathematical research in isolation. As a result, he sometimes rediscovered known theorems in addition to producing new work. Ramanujam was said to be a natural genius by the English mathematician G.H. Hardy, in the same league as mathematicians like Euler and Gauss.
