British rulers hid Indian mathematicians’ achievements from Indian students

Evidence

Yet even this is an advance of sorts against earlier forms of racism which strictly limited access to scientific educations and careers to people of European descent. As historian Michael Adas (1989) points out, an extreme form of this policy was visible in the refusal of the British rulers of India to let Indian science and math students learn even of the contributions to international mathematics that had been made by distinguished Indian mathematicians. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1581 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
