The following 3 (Three) persons were the Nobel Laureates of Indian origin for science and allied subjects -

1) Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman
Citation : "...for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him".
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (1888-1970) 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 traditionally-dressed man, he headed an institute that is today named after him: the Raman Research Institute, Bangalore.

2) Hargobind Khorana
Citation : "...for their [Khorana's, Robert W. Holley's and Marshall W. Nirenberg's] interpretation of the genetic code and its function in protein synthesis".
Hargobind Khorana (born 1922), a person of Indian origin, shared the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on genes. He had left India in 1945 and became a naturalised United States citizen in the 1970s. He contines to head a laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States.

3) Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (October 19, 1910, (Lahore, India, (now Pakistan), – August 21, 1995, Chicago, Illinois, United States) was an Indian-American physicist, astrophysicist and mathematician, known to the world as Chandra, who was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physics (shared with William Alfred Fowler).

Prof. S. Chandrasekhar for Physics (The Chandrasekhar Limit)

Nobel Prize in Medicine :
Dr. Hargobind Khurana for Medicine (tRNA)


Other Indian Nobel Lauretes :
Rabindranath Tagore for Literature (Gitanjali)
Mother Teresa for Peace
Prof. Amartya Sen for Economics (Welfare Economics)

Btw, Mother Theresa became an Indian citizen in 1948.

Dr. Har Gobind Khorana got the Nobel Prize in 1968. He helped wrap up the deciphering of the genetic code by using repeating heteropolymers of the nucleotides of DNA. It is said that his method was a very novel method. Then, they combined the results of Khorana, Nirenberg, Leder and the others to decipher the code.
