I voted for Malala and had Modi not been a contender i am sure many Indians would have voted for Malala. So internet access is a good thing Various people have won it in the past even controversial prime ministers. Influence can be seen in a good or bad way depending on perspective. He has lot of likes on fb and he sold out Madison square in NY. For many Indians i think this is unheard of by an Indian prime minister. For those who support him by ending congress rule he sent a message that dynastic politics is over. Just because you are born in a family doesn’t give you birthright to rule. They think he will end corruption in India, make India poverty free, make it cleaner by his clean india initiatives and bring back corrupt money stored overseas. That is the image he has for those who support him. Now it maybe just show and won’t live up to reality but it is the whole “change” idea that Obama and Imran Khan talk about.In minds of some people he is corruption free and neither he has a family who he can be corrupt for. His extended family lives in simple means and takes public transport. This is just the second time a Hindu nationalist party has come to power in India since independence so it is rare achievement for them. Fans in India can be crazy whether for politician, cricketer or celebrity. Just recall the Tendulkar/Sharapova incident.
I don’t think he will accomplish that and i think there is plenty of corruption in his own party but he gives some people hope. I think family based parties like the Gandhis in India or Bhuttos in Pakistan should do some soul searching and promote based on merit rather than birth. Then they will do better. They should choose well performing CMs from their parties rather than giving power to their children.
I think Manmohan Singh dressed ok. Nothing special though. I think it is better if Prime ministers dress in their native clothes. I mean most female ministers rarely wear western dress. They usually wear salwar kameez/sari.
Time hota nahi hai banana padhta hai. During a 3 hr movie instead of listening to boring songs one can multitask and go to the internet. Or while the ads come on during Pakistani dramas.
And we present Long Post Savera. Rumors that she is playing with a short handle are just that. She is going for the fences.

Nobel is more prestigious than Time Magazine anyway and Malala and Mr. Kailash Satyarthi jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize this year so it’s all good.
As for Indian Prime Minister Modi and his dress sense, he did wear a dazzling variety of caps on the campaign trail!

Narendra Modi: India Prime Minister Tops TIME Person of the Year Poll
Narendra Modi Wins Reader Poll for TIME Person of the Year
The Indian leader received more than 16% of almost five million votes cast
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who entered office this year on the promise of reviving the country’s economy, is the winner of this year’s reader poll for TIME Person of the Year .
In the final tally, Modi received more than 16% of the almost 5 million votes cast. Protesters who took to the streets in Ferguson, Mo., after the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager finished second with 9%. Hong Kong protest leader Joshua Wong, Nobel Peace Prize-winner Malala Yousafzai and the doctors and nurses treating Ebola rounded out the top five.
A majority of votes, 60%, came from desktop computers. Just over 35% came from mobile devices, and 4.5% of readers voted on tablets.
The choice of the TIME Person of the Year is made by TIME editors and will be announced Wednesday.

Off topic. Huge coincidence.

True that goodname. I found it sweet how Satyarthi called Malala his daughter. As a guy who sacrificed his personal life for the sake of helping children in India and the world he couldn’t have a better opportunity to find a like minded daughter. Both have spoken globally about their causes. Even initially Satyarthi was called a foreign agent by his detractors. Truth wins out in the end.
Malala’s like my daughter, honoured to share Nobel with her, says Kailash Satyarthi - Firstpost

Re: Time’s person of the year… lets vote people!!
Those who attacked Mr.Modi here tend to have `selective amnesia’.
There is a place called Xingiang on earth.
There is a place called Myanmar on earth.
There is a place called Colombo on earth.(All of you pretended as if you people have not heard any news,when B.B.S killed,looted and destroyed Muslim homes and even Mosques,not long just months back).
Wht bout ISISI and it’s head.They are killing more Muslims than anybody does.(The simple answer from many of you is:ISIS people are not Muslims).
There is a place called North East Sri Lanka on earth where one idiot and his filthy swine followers butchered and forcefully displaced thousands of Muslims in 1980’s. No condemnation whatsoever.
Too much Modi obsession right?Where is your brotherhood feelings in all these places?Or is it that you people consider only Indian Muslims as your brothers and sisters?
Thanks.
The people carrying out those massacres are not in the list. Modi is. I agree with you he is in the same league as the people mentioned in your list.

It’s great that both Nobel laureates emphasized the need to have peace between India and Pakistan. And it was very kind of Mr. Satyarthi to say Malala is just like his daughter. He is a real gentleman.
Re: Time’s person of the year… lets vote people!!
I think she also reciprocated those emotions and referred to him as a father. Both very noble individuals.

Re: Time’s person of the year… lets vote people!!
don’t be shocked as shock is not good for health.
TECHNICALLY speaking, rightly or wrongly, the courts have ordered the police to register a case of murder against Shareef Biraadaraan along with their goons and they have been charged with Model Town murders. on the other hand, no court has found anything against Modi that complicates him directly to the murders of Muslims in Gujrat. he has NOT been charged with any crime.
and, that’s a BIG difference.
Altaf hussain and his workers has never been found guilty by courts. Does that change the fact that MQM along with other parties is involved in bhatta khori and terrorism?
I wonder how could you advise people in religious forum on religious matters.
Re: Time’s person of the year… lets vote people!!
Modi is the duly elected leader of the largest democracy in the world which brings a lot of influence. Compare that to the Ferguson protestors - what kind of world impact have they had ?
