Email:pritibasu@rediffmail.com

Reason:The strong man of Indian Politics at this weak-kneed hour of the country. He has shown the country how India can effectively fight the curse it inherited from the British - the hunger, poverty, illiteracy and a divisive mind through his twenty plus years of 'experiment' with the Indian Political system. This brave strong man has taught the communists the beauty of tolerance in a multifaceted society like India and the privileged Indian educated elite the strength of listening to the voices of the teeming Indian masses. His unfinished agenda of education through the mother tongue and greater federalism in Indian Polity should be taken up by the generation that be if we want to re-establish the great Indian Civilization on the face of this earth.

The warmth he has for the participants in his show KBC and his genuine inter-personal interactions have once again proved that he is still the superstar.
His superlative performance in Mohabbatein proves that he is still an actor par excellence who was facing failure again and again due to bad stories and worse directors.
On a practical level, he has repaid the outstanding amount against his name and cleared his name from the murky financial deals that haunted his business venture. Truly if any one person had achieved so much in a lifetime he would have been worthy of respect and admiration but to do it in one year is truly admirable.
This is definitely the year of Amitabh Bachchan.
