Shankar Raman equates literature with mathematics

When Shankar Raman arrived in Strasbourg at the research unit Knowledge in the Anglophone Area: Representations, Culture, History (SEARCH), he managed to bring two domains that appear to be far apart closer together: literature and mathematics.

He obtained a grant from the University of Strasbourg Institute for Advanced Study (USIAS) to write a book on the subject.

This has serious consequences for the future of Afghanistan.
