1. A superhuman of jat origins ( :-) ), he was genetically engineered by scientists on earth to have physical and mental capabilities superior to those of normal humans. Unfortunately, this resulted in a megalomaniacal streak --> he dreamt of world domination. Even though his plans were thwarted temporarily, he remained in suspended animation for 200 years, until someone found him by accident. Who was he?
2. Born in Kanpur, he went on to study under Paul Dirac. He later moved to math where he made significant contributions to the representation theory of non-compact groups. Who?
3. He was the second governor of Madras, where through his corrupt dealings he was able to amass a fortune. Now known for entirely different reasons. Who?
