Poll methodology
Step 1: A list of 100 eminent Indians was collated jointly by The Week and market research and opinion polling agency TNS Mode.

Step 2: The list was given to 1047 persons in 6 cities, asking them to sort the names into four categories: people they admired a lot, people they admired somewhat, people they did not admire, and people they did not know. And then rank the top 10 from those whom they admired.

Step 3: The ranks were given a score, the topmost being 10. A mean rank score was computed for each contender. Based on the mean rank score, the 10 most admired Indians were shortlisted.
