Nomination:Amitabh Bachchan
Reason:In my opinion no one in India is parallel to his personality. As a man or as a phenomenon he is above all. He has power to change the scenario. You remember when he joined the industry, no one was even ready to accept him. What he had done at that time. All knows. A time when people was thinking that TV is not for bigger stars. Again he changed the whole scenario. Everywhere you can find "Sure", "Lock kar diya Jaye" and so on. In my opinion he is the best personality among all. His maaner to behave with people his dedication to his work, all that things compell people to admire him.
I am strongly recomending his name for this.

Name:Navin Dhanuka
Email:web-solutions@india.com
Nomination:Dewang Mehta
Reason:Before he came into picture India was known as the country of snake-charmers.
Now it is the land which produces the best mouse users.
The credit of turning India into a I.T. major power, goes a lot to this clown haired NASSCOM chief who has fought with government to ammend & reform laws to favour I.T. Industrys growth.
India is seen as a I.T. Major power today & the Presidents of more than 7 countries have come to India to sign some or the other I.T. pacts.
For being responsible for all this and much more, I vote Dewang Mehta as the Rediff Indian of Year.

Email:niraj_ks@rediffmail.com
Nomination:Mr. G.R. Khairnar
Reason:He was the unswerving face of honesty, commitment and probity in public life. Maybe it's not fashionable to be all that today, and may be he will be lost in the public memory down the line. But then there are people who know no other way to live. They are the keepers of our collective conscience. Mr.Khairnar is one person, who in this cynical times, has given some semblance of self-respect to Indians. We can tell the world that not all Indians are corrupt, grovelling,fickle and ever ready to sell themself short. People like Mr. G.R.Khairnar are like sparks, who do seem insignificant, but are capable enough to raze down mighty establishments. I do hope he has ignited a small fire in many of us to stand up for what is right, and which someday, will culminate into a big fire that will burn down the whole establisment of corruption.
