The Nominations...

Tue Dec 5 19:56:16 2000
Name:suganya
Email:suganyaa@indya.com
Nomination:PM Vajpayee
Reason:I find him the most respectable man in politics, after a long time. Though he is in BJP, he struggles hard to keep the Nations diplomatic ties in preference, than acting in cheap emotional ways to attract the cultural sectors. This has proved a point that be a BJP or Congress or what, first we all are Indians. Our PM should be and IS the ideal example for it. If he can manage the most sensitive issue in India, with this maturity, then I trust his judgement in the rest of the matters also. Since, I am out of the country, I can see that India under Vajpayee is successfully trying to turn its face against what is past and is sucessfully correcting its flaws, and hoping for a bright future. If this careful move, can restore peace for India and Pakistan, atleast we would have solved a major problem. And more importantly, the political parties will no longer use that issue to divert the Nations Aims and welfare. I love Chacha Vajpayee

Nomination:Dr. Narayana Murthy
Reason:A clear vision of his goals. A down-to-earth person possessing all the qualities of leadership like Mahatma Gandhi. Forging India successfully into the next millennium in IT. Family as his first priority. Follws the best work ethics and culture in running a business.An example set by him that there does not exist any dignity of labor be it in his home or at work place. A self-satisfied peson in life. To be such a person in today's living is very difficult. There are many others in India whose talents are hidden within themselves but could not be reached out to the masses.And people who have achieved something to bring them to the world headlines. But I vote for Narayan Murthy, who in my belief represent the hearts of India.

The way he has conducted himself through out his career, his leadership qualities, his dedications and sincerety towards his job and the social work that he took up during his suspension is reason enough for me to nominate him as the the most TRUE INDIAN in contemporary times. This is with due respects to other Indians (very few, I am sure)like Mr. Khairnar who would also have performed equally well. May God bless him and his family May God bless us with more Khairnars.
