Some ways of becoming a hero, then, now and in between.
Pre-independence India: Sacrifice all you have. Sometimes your life.
Post-independence India: Work hard, build the nation, without looking for rewards.
Post 1991: Work hard, set up your own company. No license needed.
Post I.T. : Study, Become a coder, regardless of your qualification. Work hard.
Now: Kill somebody on the road, speak about intolerance, give speeches without any regard for what you are saying, be born into a privileged family that thinks they own the country, lead an agitation for anything that will get media attention- a new state, or a reservation for a caste, or better still, be a media man who shouts everyone down in debates.
These are just a few ways to become a hero, faster than you can say Maggi.
