is Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, a man from southern India who moved to the US in his 20's to do his graduate work. He is amazingly accomplished in biology and physics as well but there was just one piece in the India Abroad article about him that got tears to well up in my eyes:
In India there was a temple he was about to enter that had a sign on the front saying "Women who are menstruating may not enter."
He immediately turned around and walked back in the other direction.
A man speaking out against oppression of women.
Made Felda's day. :)
