1.Sake Dean Mahomed

Sake Dean Mahomed过着杰出的生活，25岁时离开印度前往英国。他显著的成就包括在东印度陆军连队服役，出版了一本详述他旅行经历的自传，并在伦敦开了一家餐馆。然而，他真正声名鹊起的原因是他扮演了一个将“香波”（shampi）引入英国的角色。洗发水的实践催生了整个头发护理市场，现在是一个数十亿美元的全球产业。这是如此普遍，以至于现在不洗头被认为是禁忌。大多数美国人报告说他们每周洗头5-7次，但超过8%的人报告在同一时间内洗头12次或以上！马霍米德推出的洗发水无疑为一个闻起来比其他情况要好得多的世界做出了贡献。

2.贾加迪什·钱德拉·博斯

人们普遍认为微波技术的发明者是古列尔莫·马可尼，然而，有很多证据表明，这项技术的真正发明者实际上是贾加迪什·钱德拉·博斯。关于微波技术，Bose的演讲和演示与马可尼几年后的演讲和演示类似。如今，Bose的突破带来了微波技术的应用，这些技术革新了无线电和电视广播、蜂窝和卫星通信、空间技术、天气监测、传感器、医疗诊断和成像、安全系统、GPS、导航、，和食物制备。多亏了Bose在这一领域的成就，微波技术的应用现在得到了广泛的推广，并且在现代生活的许多方面都遇到了。

3.Srinivasa Ramanujan

Ramanujan made extraordinary contributions to string theory and number theory, causing him to be the first Indian mathematician to be elected a Fellow of the British Royal Society. Ramanujan had very little formal training in mathematics, but began teaching himself by studying books in the library at the age of twelve. Since he could only afford a small amount of paper, remarkably he learned to do much work in his head or on a chalkboard, only transferring the results to paper. This led to few people understanding his work, as only mathematical geniuses could understand how he obtained his results without seeing the process. As a result of his complete devotion to the field of mathematics, he ultimately began research positions at the University of Madras and eventually Cambridge. Even among the brightest minds, Ramanujan stood above others, and within number theory he seemed to have a special clarity and many of the solutions that stumped others seemed obvious to him. He only lived to the age of 32 and ultimately died from tuberculosis, but in his short lifetime, he produced almost four thousand proofs, identities, conjectures and equations in pure mathematics. His contributions to the fields of math and physics have led to many scientific breakthroughs. 4.Julaluddin Mohammad Akbar

Commonly known as just Akbar or Akbar the Great, he served as the third Mughal Emperor of India and lived between 1542 and 1605. He had an acute understanding of military and political strategy and was a lover of the arts, culture and knowledge. Akbar was also the first to commission the first prefabricated homes and moveable structures. This revolutionized the way many people live and prefabricated homes are hugely popular in modern times. They provide an affordable and convenient option for housing and are commonly used during disaster relief. Currently, an estimated 20 million Americans live in manufactured homes, which makes up approximately 6.4% of the total housing market. This number may also climb much higher in the future due to the green movement fueling interest in tiny homes and many individuals attempting to leave a smaller carbon footprint. Akbar’s early contributions to the housing industry now provides an option for decent and affordable housing for many people globally.

5.圣雄甘地

Gandhi is perhaps the most well-known Indian in the world. During the time of his birth in 1869, India was part of the British Empire. While completing work in South Africa, Gandhi experienced discrimination and racial segregation, which helped to shape him as someone who was devoted to fighting racial prejudice. He remained committed to this goal throughout his life and struggled for equal rights both in South Africa as well as in his homeland. His first civil disobedience campaign occurred in South Africa in 1906 but he continued to use this tactic when he returned to India in 1915. He invoked a life of simplicity and devoted himself to prayer, fasting and meditation. He also campaigned for peaceful protests and strikes in the quest for his country’s freedom. Due to the large popularity of the movement he founded, he was frequently a political prisoner and was ultimately assassinated by a Hindu extremist. His efforts contributed to the freedom of India and he remains as a symbol of hope and inspiration for oppressed people throughout the world.
