LIke every body else, my first preference is Mahatma gandhi. Even before I should have said Buddha. But, some may have an objection, because he was born, in Nepal and his popularity was confined to Asia. Therefore, for the second position, I vote for Aishwarya Rai. You may wonder what service she has rendered to humanity. Her beauty is electrifying the whole humanity. A thing of beauty is joy for ever. Just being pleasant and sending the right vibrations around is per se a service to the world.

Sacajawea
Sacajawea turned out to be incredibly valuable to the Corps as it traveled westward, through the territories of many new tribes. Some of these Indians, prepared to defend their lands, had never seen white men before. As Clark noted on October 19, 1805, the Indians were inclined to believe that the whites were friendly when they saw Sacagawea. A war party never traveled with a woman -- especially a woman with a baby. During council meetings between Indian chiefs and the Corps where Shoshone was spoke, Sacagawea was used and valued as an interpreter.
Pocahontas-was an Indian princess, the daughter of Powhatan, the powerful chief of the Algonquian Indians in the Tidewater region of Virginia. She saved the starving english

There are many well known Indians for their services to Humanity but I consider Mother Teresa (working poor and paverty
sticken) and Dr. V.Shanta (Greatest Oncologist served for Cancer patients) Short Notes about them -
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Bharat Ratna,OM (born Agnesa Gonxha Bojaxhiu August 27, 1910 – September 5, 1997) was an Albanian Roman Catholic nun who founded the Missionaries of Charity in India. Her work among the poverty-stricken of Kolkata (Calcutta) made her one of the world's most famous people, and she was beatified by Pope John Paul II in October 2003. Hence, she may be properly called Blessed Teresa by Catholics.
Dr.V. Shanta is a prominent Cancer specialist and the Chairperson of Adyar Cancer Institute, Chennai. Her career which spans over 50 years has been dedicated to organising care for cancer patients, and intensive research in the prevention and cure of the disease. Her work has been widely acknoledged with several awards including the Magsaysay Award, and Padma Shri. She has been associated with Adyar Cancer Institute since 1955, and has held several key positions, including its Director between 1980-1997. She is a member of the World Health Organisation's Advisory Committee on Health and several other national and international committees on health and medicine.
