Vote for Sanjaya (and others)

TAGS: None

This is not an American Idol vote. Vote for Sanjaya in the Time 100 most influental people poll. Sanjaya is listed at number 10 in the list of people in the running which is not necessarily a ranking.

Other noteable figures related to the subcontinent in the running:
Manmohan Singh (37), Mohammad Yunus (42), Anna Hazare (79), Sonia Gandhi (81), Gen. Pervez Musharraf (84), Indira Nooyi (90), Hamid Karzai (92), Manvendra Singh Gohil (101), Aishwarya Rai (117), Nandan Nilekani (170), Lakshmi Mittal (174), Kiran Desai (177).

Remember when you vote on this list, it is not necessarily for the person who had the most influence (positive or negative) in their field of work.

Other candidates I would like to nominate:

1. Shilpa Shetty – Big Brother UK and Richard Gere kiss
2. Mira Nair – Namesake
3. Kal Penn – see above

4. Aziz Premji
5. Narayana Murthy
