India for centuries has been regarded as a nation of the learned and the knowledgeable.

A roll call of honour, a parade of distinguished personalities from all walks of life - the stalwarts of the freedom movement to Noble laureates, from politicians to scientists, from social activists to sportspersons, from economists to artistes, from industry icons to philosophers - men and women who have made India proud in the last one hundred and fifty years; beginning of an effort to chronicle their lives as a tribute to their contributions. A salute to those who have made the difference.

Here we present an insight into the lives of some of them.
