4 Indians Among Time's 100 Most Influential People List

BANGALORE: Time has named the 100 most influential people in the world without ranking them and four Indians have made it to the list. Time's annual list chronicles the people who influence the world through their noble deeds. The publication chose to categorize these 100 personalities into the categories which are ‘titans,’ ‘pioneers,’ ‘artists,’ ‘leaders,’ and ‘icons’. Here is the list of some of the most influential people as compiled by Time.

Arvind Kejriwal: Aam Aadmi Party founder Arvind Kejriwal has won TIME magazine's readers poll of 100 Most Influential People in the world with the highest percentage of 'yes' votes. Kejriwal, listed among pioneers, is described as a "powerful outsider in Indian politics" by Rajdeep Sardesai, editor-in-chief, IBN18 Network.

Sardesai wrote, "Kejriwal is the antithesis of the modern-day Indian politician. He's no Hindu nationalist, he doesn't have a famous surname, and no, there is no evidence that he has made money from politics," reports IANS. "Though his administration (in Delhi) lasted a mere 49 days, with Kejriwal proving less adept at turning the wheels of government than campaigning against it, his image as the quintessential outsider taking on powerful interests - 'a David versus many mighty Goliaths' - has earned him a unique place in Indian politics," he added.
