Prominent Maharashtrians

I had called upon for sharing the names of eminent, intelligent, honest and noteworthy Maharashtrians who have excelled in their own fields and/or have contributed to Bombay in some way or the other. Personalities from the entertainment business (sports, films, arts) are not to be included in this list. I had started out with two names. I have till then come up with some more. For the sake of completeness I also include the earlier names.

Jayant V. Narlikar
Kirloskar
A. M. Naik
S. S. Tinaikar
