It must be a RAW conspiracy. Hasina can not be in the list of most influential persons in the world.

Hasina is the Head of a Government who managed to remain in power without the mandate of people. She is the daudghter of a deity worshipped by the adherents of a religion called BAL. No one in her country can lie as much as she does. Now being able to remain in power in defiance of people's will, securing the national championship in lying and being worshipped as a deity by a class of people- if all these qualities make someone influential then no one can deny she is unique in Bangladesh.

bd needs at least 2 more parties. Also more men should join politics.
hasina is proving to be an Indira Gandhi, kicking anybody who crosses her.

That's very good!! Bangladesh prospered during her regime, and will continue to do so under her leadership.

Lol it's not Time Magazine or Newsweek but Asian Awards Limited- first time I'm hearing of them. I bet this is an Indian organization based on the internet only. They even mentioned Dr. Yunus as an Indian (found in today's news) reason behind the title now I know.

@ How can you compare Indra Gandhi with Sk Hasina ?

@ Have you ever heard his english speech ?

@ In Bengali there is a "Kahawat", " Kothai Agartula ar kothai khater tula ".

Im honestly surprised to not see Dr.Yonus. If this is a truly international award Yonus sir should've been on the list, atleast when it came to the most influential people in Bangladesh. Sigh.

Modi is 4th despite being a mere Chief Minister of one Indian state at least as of now way above then many head of the countries

He is on the list (55 or 56th, pls check), but first they had mentioned him as an Indian and corrected it later.

@she is being autocratic, thats what I meant by her being like Indira Gandhi. Indira Gandhi plunged India into darkness for 2 years by declaring emergency. She was increasingly becoming paranoid and relying on a coterie of core people for support.
@'her' English speech has nothing to do with what we are discussing

 

[fallstuff]

The Brits decide who is important in Asia.

 

[TopCat]

Why not we make a list a dumb people in Asia and see where Hasina stands.
