Bangalore: It takes both an introvert and an extrovert to make history. The Times magazine named a few loud and quiet giants in their survey, who’ve made their mark.

Introverts:

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Revolutionary:

India’s most notable activist and leader who freed India from the British rule. The man who fought for the good of all and who preached non-violence, he was a person of few words. He changed the direction of the entire nation, but he was always an inward-looking person, at ease on his own and in his own skin.

Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister:

The Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is clearly a man of few words. For a man who governs the world’s second most populous country, Singh is notably modest. He is also termed as the lifelong technocrat who isn’t always comfortable in rough-and-tumble Indian politics.
