On the occasion of Sixtieth year of Independent India, Outlook, an Indian Business Magazine has released a list of Sixty Great Indians in 60 years of our Republic. The list is picked by three eminent jury B.G. Verghese, Mushirul Hasan and Mukul Kesavan. I am bit disappointed by the fact that Mushirul Hasan thinks Sardar Patel doesn’t deserve a place in “Sixty Great Indians”. Sardar Patel is one of the name which I will always keep on top, considering his contribution towards the integration of “Republic of India”.
Here is my list of 10 Great Indians of Independent India.
- Sardar Patel
- Indira Gandhi
- Homi Jahangir Bhabha
- Narayan Murthy
- JRD Tata
- Raj Kapoor
- Kapil Dev
- Balbir Singh
- Mother Teresa
- Amartya Sen
