Well that is actually difficult for an entirely different reason, I mean we were under the rule of British and not many Indians were considered famous rather notorious at least by the people who maintained records, i.e. the Britishers, and they really didn't give a crap about our ages as to them we were all slaves. So the record keeping was not the most impeccable and we certainly had the odds stacked against us.Sry I meant people who DIED in late 19th/early 20th century. Obviously someone dying in 90s or 2000s would have enjoyed the benefits of modern medicine. That's about as recently as one could have died.
Also I would like to say that modern medicine didn't have a significant impact in life expectancy until the 1950s. So the people I mentioned in the earlier list who died before 1950 didn't actually get the benifits modern medicine. I still managed to find 2 people who fit your criteria:
- Dadabhai Naoroji (1825-1917) died aged 91. He also known as the "Grand Old Man of India" and "Unofficial Ambassador of India", was an Indian Independence activist, political leader, merchant, scholar and writer. He was one of the founding members of the Indian National Congress and served as its 2nd, 9th, and 22nd President from 1886 to 1887, 1893 to 1894 and 1906 to 1907.
- Dinsha Edulji Wacha (1844-1936) was one of the founding members of the Indian National Congress. Wacha was also the president of the Congress in 1901.
