However, pretty much all of the ones who are household names, are western.

Well, at least to western people. Are Indians more familiar with Indian scientists?

Amoung the people who are interested in science? Yes. But to the general public? No.

I don't think a non STEM guy would know Ramanujan or C V Raman.

C V Raman's name is known via school text books; though granted that few would remember it unless they carry on with STEM.

Household names (in the west) are maybe Aristotle, Galileo, Newton and Einstein. If you are lucky. For a lot of people it is just Einstein, that's it.
