Chapter Chapter 32 in Ramanujan's Place in the World of Mathematics, 2021, pp 239-246 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Srinivasa Ramanujan has made a deep and lasting impact on many branches of mathematics and his name is well known throughout the world. But it would come as a surprise to know that he is a major force even in the remote island of Mauritius in the southernmost part of the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa! I had an opportunity to be the Chief Guest at a Ramanujan memorial event in Mauritius in March 2017 when prizes were distributed to the Third Ramanujan Mathematics Contest Winners on the campus of the University of Mauritius. My wife Mathura and I enjoyed our visit immensely and I shall now describe some of the unique aspects of this Ramanujan movement in Mauritius and the attractions (both academic and geographic) of this charming island country.
