The renowned math historian Prof R C Gupta was to be honored last year at the ICHM (Budapest, July 2009),
but he was unable to be present for the occasion. So the prize - the Kenneth O. May Prize - will be given to him this year instead - at the ICM to be held in Hyderabad (19-27 August 2010). Here is a link to the ICM:
Prof Gupta has done an amazing amount of work on early Indian mathematics, and is a highly accomplished historian of mathematics. I have had the pleasure and honor of interacting with him (in Warangal in December 2007, during the annual AMTI conference), and can testify to how simple and unassuming a person he is.
