Legacy

Can someone tell me why this article, and many others centered on Indian scientists, use for their career section a heading of "Legacy"? Is this some Indian-English difference that I'm not aware of? "Legacy" in English-language biographies typically refers to the lasting impact of someone's life after their death. The plain meaning of the word "legacy" is indeed not what someone accomplished during their life but rather a patrimony that they have left behind. It is particularly inappropriate, IMHO, in a WP:BLP. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 14:43, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
