[Android]

Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh and AICC vice
president Rahul Gandhi have been named
among top 5 in the world's 100 most
influential list of Asians topped by China's
new President Xi Jinping.
"She is the Chairperson of the United
Progressive Alliance, who rule the Lok
Sabha, the Indian Lower Political House
and also the most powerful, with the
ability to instigate a vote of no-confidence
in the Upper House, removing them from
office," said 'The Asian Awards Top 100' in
reference to Gandhi.
She came in as the second most influential
on the list followed by Chinese Premier Le
Keqiang released as part of the annual
Asian Awards held in London on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Singh was ranked No 4 for
having "1.2 billion subjects under his rule
and a GDP of nearly USD 2 trillion."
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi
placed at 5th position for being "tipped as
the country's next Prime Minister".
"Countless hours of research and
deliberation went into creating this list
and I am confident it will become a
definitive guide of measuring influence
among those of Asian origin. The aim of
the list is simple, to showcase the most
influential Asian people in the world
today, said Paul Sagoo, founder of The
Asian Awards and its associated
influential list.
The list was topped by Chinese President
Xi, who is also the General Secretary of
the Communist Party of China.
"Wealth and political influence ranked
highly amongst the categories," said Paul
Sagoo, founder of The Asian Awards and
its associated influential list, which was
topped by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of
the Communist Party of China.
Among the other key Indians to make the
grade included Reliance Industries chief
Mukesh Ambani for owning "Indias most
valuable company", in ninth place,
followed by President Pranab Mukherjee
at 19th place and steel magnate Lakshmi
N Mittal at 20th position.
Indian entries dominated the Top 100 with
39 names, followed by 15 from China and
six from the Philippines.
Politics and business proved the most
widely represented fields.
While Infosys co-founder Narayan Murthy
was named Philanthropist of the Year,
industrialist Adi Godrej bagged
Entrepreneur of the Year award for his
contribution to Indian industry and Ravi
Ruia, vice-chairman of the Essar Group,
won in the Outstanding Contribution to

When a puppet, a foreigner, and her retarded son are the most important figures in a country, it reserves no right to call itself a future superpower.

India does HAVE the right to call itself anything.

Now, if India has the CAPACITY to claim that, that is a different story.

It's not a personal achievement. They got this ranking based on their presence in the political spectrum of a powerful country.
