Time Magazine: India's Glory




Its a matter of pride when India's 9 persons placed their names in world's 100 most influential people.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, great economist Amartya Sen, Eye specialist Perumalsamy Namperumalsam, humanitarian worker Sanjit Buker Roy, writer Chetan Bhagat, Indian-America doctor and Harvard professor Atul Gwande, paramedic from Toronto Rahul Singh and entrepreneur Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw are among nine Indians figuring in Time magazine's annual list of 100 most influential people.

About our PM the magazine quotes:
The long history of India boasts many great leaders. But the much shorter history of Indian democracy is already creating its own heroes, and Manmohan Singh, 77, is one of them.

About cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, the magazine quotes like this:
To millions of Indians and countless fans around the world, this act, which caps a career of record-breaking feats, arouses a sense of awe.

The best part which I liked to see Chetan Bhagat in the list.
