India is colour.

It is vibrant and rich. Proud of its charm. Its resilience.

It is bustling and chaotic, even hysterical. A country predominantly rustic, with pockets of unimaginable wealth. A society witnessing rapid, constant change.

It is a land like none other. Starkly different.

Only one thing sets it apart.

Its people.

A jigsaw of millions of different faces... different individuals... and different lives. Achievers and failures, scoundrels and saints, educated and unlettered, millionaires and minions, frail and strong, young and old...an endless list of people that form the breadth of this vast nation.

A pot pourri which has shaped the fortunes of Independent India. Peoples who have journeyed with the nation as it traversed on its half-a-century course. Matching pace to pace, year after year as India bloomed from birth to maturity.

They have built this country. They that are India. And it is they that will find place on these pages. Rediff On The NeT profiles 50 such Indians, signifying each year of the Indian nationhood.

Lives that are the spirit of India.
