Rabindranath Tagore
Main article: Rabindranath Tagore
Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 1913 "because of his profoundly sensitive,
fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic
thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."[1]
Rabindranath Tagore (18611941) was a poet, philosopher, educationist, artist and social
activist. Hailing from an affluent land-owning family from Bengal, he received traditional
education in India before traveling to England for further study. He abandoned his formal
education and returned home, founding a school, Santiniketan, where children received an
education in consonance with Tagore's own ideas of communion with nature and emphasis on
literature and the arts.
In time, Tagore's works, written originally in Bengali, were translated into English; the
Geetanjali ("Tribute in verse"), a compendium of verses, named 'Song Offerings' in English
was widely acclaimed for its literary genius. In 1913, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Literature. He was the first person of non-Western heritage to be awarded a Nobel Prize.[2]
In protest against the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre, he resigned the knighthood that had
been conferred upon him in 1913. Tagore holds the unique distinction of being the composer
of the national anthems of two countries, India and Bangladesh. He was the first nonEuropean and first Asian to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the year
1930. He had been knighted only the year before and worked extensively on acoustics and
light. He was also deeply interested in the physiology of the human eye. A traditionallydressed man, he headed an institute that is today named after him: the Raman Research
Institute, Bangalore.

Mother Teresa

Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 1979 in recognition of her "work in bringing help to
suffering humanity."[4]
Mother Teresa's real name was Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxiu (19101997) was born in Skopje, then
a city in Ottoman Empire. She was a Roman Catholic nun of Albanian origin and Indian

citizenship.[5] She founded the international order of "The Missionaries of Charity", whose
primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. For
years in the slums of Kolkata (Calcutta), her work centred on caring for the poor and
suffering, among whom she herself died.

Amartya Sen
Main article: Amartya Sen
Awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences 1998 "for his contributions
to welfare economics."[6]
Amartya Sen (born 1933) was the first Indian to receive the Nobel Memorial Prize in
Economics, awarded to him in 1998 for his work on welfare economics. He has made several
key contributions to research in this field, such as to the axiomatic theory of social choice; the
definitions of welfare and poverty indexes; and the empirical studies of famine. All are linked
by his interest in distributional issues and particularly in those most impoverished.[7] Whereas
Kenneth Arrow's "impossibility theorem" suggested that it was not possible to aggregate
individual choices into a satisfactory choice for society as a whole, Sen showed that societies
could find ways to alleviate such a poor outcome.

him for his personality as well as for his genius.

Rudyard Kipling
Main article: Rudyard Kipling
Citation : "in consideration of the power of observation, originality of imagination,
virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration which characterize the creations of
this world-famous author"
Rudyard Kipling, born in Mumbai, 1865 (then Bombay in British India), was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907. He remains the youngest ever recipient of the Literature
Nobel Prize and the first English-language writer to receive the Prize. His literary career
began with Departmental Ditties (1886), but subsequently he became chiefly known as a
writer of short stories. A prolific writer, he achieved fame quickly. Kipling was the poet of the
British Empire and its yeoman, the common soldier, whom he glorified in many of his works,
in particular Plain Tales from the Hills (1888) and Soldiers Three (1888), collections of short
stories with roughly and affectionately drawn soldier portraits. His Barrack Room Ballads
(1892) were written for, as much as about, the common soldier. In 1894 appeared his Jungle
Book, which became a children's classic all over the world. Kim (1901), the story of Kimball
O'Hara and his adventures in the Himalayas, is perhaps his most felicitous work. Other works
include The Second Jungle Book (1895), The Seven Seas (1896), Captains Courageous
(1897), The Day's Work (1898), Stalky and Co. (1899), Just So Stories (1902), Trafficks and
Discoveries (1904), Puck of Pook's Hill (1906), Actions and Reactions (1909), Debits and
Credits (1926), Thy Servant a Dog (1930), and Limits and Renewals (1932), Better Be Better

than Worst (1933). During the First World War Kipling wrote some propaganda books. His
collected poems appeared in 1933
