Wed Dec 20 22:20:49 2000
Name:Bhaskar Mukherjee
Email:bhaskar_mu@hotmail.com
Nomination:Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Reason:One of the greatest spiritual masters of our times.Millions of people throughout the world(especially in India) are being helped by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar through his teachings of love,celebration and seva. Thousands of villages have been adopted this year alone and villagers are being taught to inculcate good habits and build self confidence that will not make them as dependent on external aid as they have been so far, rather they are learning to be independent as well as work together as a team to solve everyday problems that they face.Thus India's backbone is being strengthened. Thousands of convicts are being helped through the prison smart programs as seeds of spirituality and love are being sown in them thereby reducing crime in our daily lives. Urban people are benefiting from stress relief and are able to handle stress with a true smile in their hearts. Words have limited expression the impact of his work throughout the world speaks for itself.

Wed Dec 20 22:50:47 2000
Name:priya
Email:priya_srinath@yahoo.com
Nomination:Karnam Malleshwari
Reason:For her single minded devotion, effort and ultimately, her achievement in the Olympics. She is not only a national hero but also an icon for anyone in the world who strives for success amidst adversities. In a country that's home for a billion people or more, the lack of olympic heros has as much to do with the lack of resources, the lack of encouragement, and finally the never ending internal and external politics that influence any significant event or person in India. Considering this, any person who succeeds even partially in their endeavours has to be applauded and anyone who makes a significant mark in any world event has to be revered. So, being an Indian and being a proud one at that, I nominate Karnam Malleshwari for being the most admirable Indian of the year.
