Who are the social reformers in India ?

India has a rich history of social reformers who have helped establish the foundations of modern India, and, in some cases, have affected a world wide impact through political action and philosophic teachings. Especially given India's leaning towards oral and mythical rather than a written tradition throughout much of its history it is almost impossible to put together an exhaustive list of social reformers who have lived through the ages. Below are some of them.
