Why was ramanujan called the father of mathematics?

If he was called the father of mathematics, it was probably by someone who did not understand mathematical history at all - or perhaps of parenthood. It would be extremely strange that if a father was born several thousand years after what he was supposedly the father of! Aristotle and Euclid had already helped mathematics grow a couple of thousand years before Ramanujan was born!

This is NOT to minimise his contribution to mathematics, but father he was not.
