India has undoubtedly been the source of knowledge and wisdom since the days of the Vedas. Innovative ideas and creative activities have brought many Indians to the forefront in different spheres, bringing to the country Nobel Prizes in literature, science, economics and peace. Eminent Indians surveys the lives and contributions of some of the saints and sages, artists, musicians, dancers, film personalities, economists, industrialists, defence personnel, scientists, litterateurs, political thinkers and legal luminaries of India. They include the Noble Laureates and others who have carved out a niche for themselves. Their travails and sufferings followed by glorious achievements are indicative of the need for cultivating the spirit of endurance, dedication and hard work as keys to success. Written in simple language, these biographical essays should form an essential source of information and inspiration to our students, teachers, parents, and non-resident Indians. Their reading should also help people of other nationalities to understand India in its proper perspective.
