per the Padma Shri, which, if anything, passes . In the year that the subject was given that award it was given to less than one in 12 million Indians, which makes in a much more exclusive award than, say, a British knighthood. It doesn't matter how many awards in India are even more exclusive. And it has been suggested above that his notability might only be state-wide rather than national. I don't accept that because this is a national award rather than a state award, but even if I did he would be notable in a state which would, if it was independent, be the seventh most populous country in the world
