I thought these are perhaps more apt icons of India... Bhagwad Geeta, Yoga, Meditation... with Yoga being especially popularized by Swami Ramdev... Would have loved to put Sanskrit language as well, but these days, people outside India are doing more research and work on Sanskrit rather than Indians ... who seem to bask in the reflected glory of contractial labour or glorified indentured labour. Anyway, from the list published, not sure there were too many to be proud of except for Lata, Abdul Kalam...
