Netanyahu: Ramanujan greatest mathematician, PM Modi's enthusiasm for yoga inspirational

During his address, Netanyahu talked about Indian mathematician Ramanujan, saying, "he symbolises Indian talent". "Ramanujan was a great Indian mathematician. Perhaps the greatest mathematician in many, many centuries. This symbolises the talent of India. I have to confess to you that I have been inspired by Prime Minister Modi's enthusiasm for yoga. I want to start pratcising yoga, and as Modi advised, I will start at a beginner's level," Israel's PM added.

He further added, "We share a bond of democracy and creativity."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today landed in Israel's capital Tel Aviv, becoming the first Indian Prime Minister to visit the country he has long admired for its military and technical expertise, but which his predecessors kept at arm's length.
