Nomination:AMITABH BACHHAN
Reason:In this sadistic and recessional year 2000, Amitabh has stood tall, has regaled the audience with his superlative performance in TV Serial Kaun Banega Krorepati and Movie 'Mohabbatein'.

Above all, it is our pride that Amitabh Bachchan himself to unveil his own wax statue at Madame Tussaud's, the world-famous gallery of rich and the famous in London. Coming closest to Amitabh, I would rate Atal Behari Vajpayee but once he made his intentions clear of building Ram Temple at Ayodhya, he has fallen from public grace.

Tue Dec 12 22:17:00 2000
Name:Sukhi
Email:richie_rich100@hotmail.com
Nomination:Sachin Tendulkar
Reason: Why? Ask your self why? The man who became the Highest Run getter in the cricketing world, The man who also became the first person to score 50 international centuries. Yes the reasons are pure cricketing, but does any other faculty demand any respect what so ever. You must be thinking the award is for "Indian of the Year" not Cricketer.. " but who else deserves it. Azhar brought shame with many others, the PM of India is in the midst of controversy in the Babri Masjid case. Sachin has brought pride and respect to the nation, though through cricket but atleast he brought it. Of course comparing him with Malleshwari and Priyanka chopra the only two who can give him competition, i would still go for him. As he surpasses them by miles. Today if the 3 stand face to face each other they make the 3 ratna's of India. But the one ratna (Sachin) is going to shine forever who will command more popularity than any other person. The 2nd (assuming malleshwari) would fade away and the last but not least would soon be carried away by glamour n obdurance.

He's my man for Redif(f)ining Man of the Year !!!
