President Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam
He is the Pivot man in india's MODERN Nuclear Technology....

 

hahaha he is an aeronautical engineer... he did a few god things for isro and such like... though sarabhai and dhawan did more.... and the nuclear thingie is H. J. Bhabba's doing lion share.

 

Koenraad Elst - deserves the Bharat Ratna many many times over.

 

tough one...i vote for shaw and pitroda....shaw encouages enterpreneurship...much needed to be encouraged in india...while pitroda wrked a lot to get communications to the most rural parts of our country.....
