Manabendra Nath Roy (Bengali: মানবেন্দ্রনাথ রায়) (1887 - 1954), born Narendra Nath Bhattacharya and popularly known as M. N. Roy, was an Indian nationalist revolutionary and an internationally known radical activist and political theorist. Roy was a founder of the Communist Parties in both Mexico and India and was a delegate to congresses of the Communist International. Following the rise of Joseph Stalin, Roy left the mainline communist movement to pursue an independent radical politics. In 1940 Roy was instrumental in the formation of the Radical Democratic Party, an organization in which he played a leading role for much of the decade of the 1940s. Roy later moved away from Marxism to become an exponent of the philosophy of Radical Humanism.

According to Dr. Bhaskar Bhole the birth year of M. N. Roy is 1893. Dr. Bhole claims that according to one of Roy's colleagues Mr. Avinash Bhattacharya, Roy was born in Bengali year 1293(i.e. 1886-87 a.d.) V. B. Karnik one of Roy's biographers quotes his birth date in the Marathi Vishwakosh as 21st March 1887. According to Police records 1888 is his birth year. But 1893 must be his correct birth year as the Radical Humanist in its February 1953 issue mentions that Roy has completed 60 years.

Makinti Napanangka (circa 1930 – 9 January 2011) was a Pintupi-speaking Indigenous Australian artist from Australia's Western Desert region. She was referred to post-humously as Kumentje. The term Kumentje was used instead of her personal name as it is customary amongst many indigenous communities not to refer to the deceased by their original given name for some time after their death. She lived in the communities of Haasts Bluff, Papunya, and later at Kintore, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) north-east of the Lake MacDonald region where she was born, on the border of the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

Makinti Napanangka began painting Contemporary Indigenous Australian art at Kintore in the mid-1990s, encouraged by a community art project. Interest in her work developed quickly, and she is now represented in most significant Australian public art galleries, including the National Gallery of Australia. A finalist in the 2003 Clemenger Contemporary Art Award, Makinti won the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award in 2008. Her work was shown in the major Indigenous art exhibition Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius, at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
