Most Indians surely have not heard of Charlie Rose, but the New Yorker is a well-respected talk show host, whose programme airs weeknights in America on the Public Broadcasting Service or PBS channel. Rose seems to have an affection for India [Images], having interviewed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [Images] in September 2004, Finance Minister Palanippan Chidambaram exactly a year later, and Amitabh Bachchan last April.
In time for President George W Bush's [Images] passage to India next week, Rose will present interviews from India all week.
Among his guests are Prime Minister Singh [Images], National Security Adviser M K Narayanan, Wipro [Get Quote] Chairman Azim Premji [Images], Infosys [Get Quote] Chief Executive Officer Nandan Nilekani, Tata Sons Chairman Ratan Tata [Images], Biocon [Get Quote] CEO Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Sterlite Chairman Anil Agarwal, actress Shabana Azmi [Images], Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta, The Hindu Deputy Editor Siddharth Varadarajan and columnist Gurcharan Das.
