Sarvadaman Chowla (1907 - 1995) was an extremely talented mathematician who earned an international reputation for his research in number theory and related areas.
One of the best-known number theorists from India following in the tradition of Ramanujan, Chowla's fertile and creative imagination justified the title "poet of mathematics" given him by his associates.
Chowla wrote over 350 mathematical papers during the period 1926 - 1986.

In mathematics, the Chowla-Mordell theorem is a result in number theory determining cases where a Gauss sum is the square root of a prime number, multiplied by a root of unity.
It was proved and published independently by Sarvadaman Chowla and Louis Mordell, around 1951.
The 'if' part was known to Gauss: the contribution of Chowla and Mordell was the 'only if' direction.

Sarvadaman Chowla, Salam?s teacher at the Lahore College, once described the problem, daring his students to solve it.
Murtaza then concentrates on the life of the teacher who honed Salam?s mathematical skills.
Hardly surprising, for the stories of Ramanujan, Salam or Chowla are essentially the same: about genius from the East making a mark in the West.

They come from Switzerland, Germany, France, Russia, Britain, Denmark, Austria, Hungary, Finland, Sweden, and North America.** There is a bit of bias here because the first half of my book deals with events up to 1900, and there is more "diversity" in mathematics nowadays.
At the Courant Institute conference in May there was a fair sprinkling of Japanese, Chinese, and Indians.*** (Readers of Simon Singh's pop-math bestseller Fermat's Enigma may recall the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture.) India especially has produced some really first-class mathematicians, and my book mentions a couple (Srinivasa Ramanujan and Sarvadaman Chowla) in passing.
Still, there is no denying that if you write a book about higher mathematical research in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, you are writing about white guys from Europe and her colonies.
