How many Indians had won the Nobel Prize?

I would appreciate it if the names, %26amp; years of winning were included. Also the kind of Nobel Prize (peace, literature, Chemistry, etc)|||1. Rabindranath Tagore - Nobel Prize for Literature (1913)





2. Sir C.V. Raman - Nobel Prize for Physics (1930)





3. Dr. Hargobind Khorana - Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology (1968)





4. Dr. Subramaniam Chandrasekar - Nobel Prize for physics (1983)





5. Mother Teresa - Nobel Prize for peace (1979)





6. Dr. Amartya Sen - Nobel Prize for Economics (1998)





Other Nobel Prize Laureates related to India:


Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), V.S. Naipaul (1932- )








@ Andrew S - Where are you from, mate?|||If you mean Indian as citizens of India, it would only be Mother Theresa of Calcuta, for her Poverty Awareness Campaign, and Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, for refusing to use violence to regain his people's freedom.





If you meant as a Native American of the US, none.





If you mean indian as a Native American of any of the countries in America (the continent), only 1 has ever won such prize: Rigoberta Menchu, from Guatemala, for her work in trying to earn equal rights for the indigenous cultures.|||I believe Tonto did for his work with the Lone Ranger|||That reminds me of a song we all sang as children...one little, two little, three little...|||You can browse all of the winners yourself at

Although some of the winners could have a bit of Native American ancestry, I doubt that any full-blooded Arawak or Cherokee or whichever Indian tribe member would have been able to be nominated. If you mean East Indian, then there may have been a few of those citizens who won.|||ZERO!!!|||If you mean American Indians, none as far as I know.





If you mean a citizen of India, mother Teresa is the only one that I can think of.
