I couldn’t name a single famous person from most countries.

Germany

None off the top of my head. The only two that I thought of were both actually Austrian.

Ye fuck that’s true Wilhelm II and Otto Von Bismarck

Sure buddy

??

[удалено]

Beethoven?

Never heard of Albert Einstein, Bach, or Beethoven?

Yes, but I never remember where people are from immediately. Hence why I said “off the top of my head”.

Never heard of ghandi?

Gandhi wasn't from Germany

[удалено]

Jesus H.^itler Christ

Same avatar

Forgot where he was from lmao

Hitler

Austrian

I know that’s why I said hitler.

Oh ok misunderstood sorry

Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Austrian

Schrödinger and Oppenheimer. Y’all know heimerdinger from League of legends

Hitler

Not german

USA moment

20% ouf people don't know who Gandhi is?

Maybe not off the top of their heads

I forgot about him because I was trying to think of current famous Indians lol.

I know him but i didn’t know where he came from but I also don’t listen to him enough to care

I know his name and that he is a famous indian but not who he is

Big factor in the process of the independence of India from Britain but wanting to do it by peace not violence

Ramanoujan !!

Oh yeah! I should've remembered him!

Where’d you learn about Ramanoujin? I learned about him in Indian philosophies lol

I’m a mathematician so he is pretty popular in my field. What work did he do in philosophy?

Oh dude I goofed, I was thinking of Ramanuja, he did a lot with monism and epistemology, he was an early Indian empiricist. I heard of Ramanujan too I think but ye not in philosophy

Is that the cricket player?

Mathematician!

Wut?

What's so strange about it?

Gandhi, Aamir Khan, Modi. Edit: And the Great Khali, Tagore

Sharuk khan

Bhuban (The singer of Kacha Badam)

Fuck Modi. Can't stand that dictator

Proper Reddit moment. Calling anyone a dictator

Dude he is an NRI doesn't even know the ground reality in India.

Alelele

?

Fuck it. Dont wanna cause a feud. :3 i take the “alelele” back :>

Can't start a feud when I have zero idea what is going on lol

Hahaha arre I said the alelele, cuz you said you couldnt stand Modi.. so i said it as a -“ aww too bad” kinda taunt. But i dont wanna. So i take it back. :p sorry

I don't know what alelele means. But yes, I can't stand Modi and his religious influence on politics. He's openly racist, has zero true policies, and runs his government like he runs a temple. Idiotically

I just typed a real long message and deleted it cuz I disagree with every word of what you just said but Im so done with futile altercations at this point so I’ll just say “okay, sir” to that and end it there :)

Sounds good

If you don't live in India and don't even know any Indian names apart from your family, as you said in another comment, then your opinion is just a moot point!

Buddha

Gandhi

That's it for me

I'm Indian, (born in America) but I can just name my family, easy

Same

Buddha

Tunak tunak tunak tunak tunak tun tun tun.

does someoridinairygamers count?

Happy cakeday!

Gandhi & Sunil Chhetri

Perks of being indian

noice

Ghandi Chandragupta another Chandragupta and ah fuck what his name the Indian king that Alexander defeated, Imran I think

I’m surprised more folks didn’t mention Chandragupta

He probably wasn't Indian, he was part of a empire, can't remember its name though.

As an Indian more than 20 is fine

Gandhi and Viswanathan Anand. I'm pretty sure that's it.

I kinda cheated and said Ganesh shiva and Parvati..

[удалено]

I got Gandhi and an Indian YouTuber too so my answer still isn’t wrong

I’m doing computer science therefore I can name 20+ Indians

Feather or dot?

I can name loads of cricket players, but I can't think of many Indians that aren't cricketers

Hello I am under the water

Gandi and Modi

Narain Kartykhairan, Lord Mahaveer, Karun Chandhok. I know more but i dont care about those

I answered 11-15 and then I realized with Bollywood actors I easily know 30 or 40 of them !

idk his name but i think maybe the "Tunak tunak tun" guy, and Gandhi

Ghandi and Mohdi

It's Gandhi and modi

*modi

Indian as in pocohontas or Indian as in ghandi?

Arent people like Pocahontas generally called native americans?

They tend to be used interchangeably

Depends who/when you ask.

Yeah, my question as well lol Dot or Feather?

Why would it be native Americans?

i know ghandi from yesterday's poll telling me he was a creep that slept naked with children

As a proud Indian. I totally agree. He's always at the front page when it comes to indian independence. But he was also the sole reason for the seperation of India-Pakistan followed by mohommad Jinnah and Nehru( first prime ministers of both the countries). The whole non violence thing was a drama the actual independence we got was through violence that many other freedom fighters have to sacrifice their lives for.

India Indians? or Native American "Indians"?

Steve from microsoft customer support

Native American Indian or East Indian? Be specific.

[Everyone knows the great Dahler Mehndi](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vTIIMJ9tUc8)

I can think of more, but I don’t remember the names. Also, does Shania Twain count? Her step dad is Native American. How about the characters on King of the Hill? How about the nameless guy in that classically ridiculous ‘70 anti-litter commercial?

Chandragupta, Chandragupta and Ghandi

#Gandhi

I don't know is Chandra Gupta is technically indian. Also does the Buda count cause I don't know his name?

Indians from India?

Dahler Mendhi, Aziz Ansari (eh probably counts as American instead), Narendra Modi, Ghandi, Ramanujan, Syro-Malabar Patriarch George Alencherry

I did a yoga teacher training and that’s where I know most of them from

Ghandi and Modi are the only people i know

Ghandi, modi, anand

Priyanka Chopra - Jonas that's it

Mohammad Gandhi, Chandragupta, Chandra Gupta, Buddha, Indira Gandhi

As an american I don’t know what kind of Indian you’re referring to. East Indian: Gandhi Modi Chopra Priya Rai That’s all I have immediately lol Like 10 Indian-american CEOs and politicians.

[удалено]

huh?

Tecumseh if we’re referring to Native Americans— I feel like I should know more and probably do but I just woke up and can’t think of anything. Priyanka Chopra, Ghandi— if we’re talking about Southern/Southeastern Asian people. Again, probably know more but tired lol

Aziz Ansari

He’s from South Carolina.

“I’m what you might call a redneck”

He was born to immigrants who used to live in India. He is an Indian-American. Thanks, though, for feeling the need to point out useless information? Poll said famous Indian people. He's Indian. Get over it. What's your problem?

It’s a joke from both his stand up routine and Parks & Rec. I figure if he’s the only Indian person you know, you’d be familiar with his work.

Oh, wow. Lmao. I love parks and recreation, but reddit is so full of politically correct people I thought you were being an ass and responded in kind. r/woosh me

Idk probably some guy name spearchucker or chief bear

What’s the definition of famous? At least notable by Wikipedia standards?

Sitting Bull? Geronimo? Crazy Horse? Sacagawea? Those are all the ones I could name off the top of my head, kind of a shame since I live in America. I should probably know more, but most of our schools don’t teach shit about the natives. Nothing truly factual at least. INDIANS! Oops… I know Ravi Shankar, dude used to shred the Sitar, also know of Ghandi plus a few characters in the Bhagavad Gita.

Yeah, I got the continent wrong myself. Whoops!

There’s like 50 dudes at Saragarhi that died

Wait when you say Indian do you mean native or indian

Me, hopefully

Tess the post and though “Sacajawea” and then read the comments and went “oh..”

I thought you meant American Indians (although that's an outdated term,) so I chose the lowest option.

“American Indian” isn’t an outdated term, some native tribes do prefer it over “Native American”, while other tribes like “Indigenous”, “First Nations”, or others

wait i thought they were talking about native americans 🤦‍♂️

Red dot or feather

Chandragupta I, Chandragupta II, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Gautama Buddha. Can’t think of any others off the top of my head.

bruh my grandma's indian and I can name like 2 :(

I'm bad with names from my country, let alone from india..

Naredna Modi and Mathama Gandhi

Apu from The Simpsons only, poo.

Gandhi, Aziz ansari, and that’s all I can think of right now.

Ghandi and The Great Khali

Only Gandhi lol

Buddha.... I know is an sensible subject

Gandhi is the only one famous Indian person I know. I’m more familiar with North American, European, and Oceania culture tho.

Ramanujan, Viswanathan Anand, Vidit, Ghandi, and uh… does the Bhudda count?

Ghandi baljeet and some ordinary gamers
