Who was Sir Visvesvaraya?

In the short story when a man with ordinary clothes and a turban on his head was traveling on a train with the Britishers, they laughed at him and started making fun of him because he was an Indian.

Suddenly he stopped the running train by pulling the chain, the people traveling on the train got angry and the Britishers started bullying him. Suddenly a guard came in the boogie and asked him why the train was stopping, the man answered "the Railtrack is broken further", a guard asked why do you think so? 

So the man answered, "I got an instinct that the train's speed is usual but there is sound from the rail track which is not safe". Guard took the man with him after seeing the Railtrack the guard was shocked by his interpretation, there was a crack in the track on which the train would be passing on. If this man had not been on the train, each one on the train would have been met with an accident. Knowing the proficiency of this man members of the train started appreciating his knowledge. And the man who stopped the train was none other than SIR VISVESVARAYA.
