Nomination:Atal Bihari Vajpayee
Reason:"When the going gets tough, only the tough keep going...." and thats Vajpayee. He might be old, too many years in politics, and is now heading a minority govt. with lot of opposition to face, yet he is tough. The man who put an end to the dynasty rule of congress by defeating Sonia Gandhi in the last election. He is always walking on a tight rope, yet acheives results better than a prime minister with a vast majority. Most Honest, Least Corrupt, intellectual man who also built good relations with other countries, and upheld india's reputation internationally. In todays politics, he is among the very few, probably only one, who commands respect from everyone, irrespecitve of which party they vote or support. Popular vote or electoral vote, recount or no recount, he is definitely a winner. "Atal is vital" for India.

Name:Porbandar
Email:bhagvadgita@hotmail.com
Nomination:Atal Bihari Vajpayee
Reason:He genuinely seems to have India's interest at heart more than the money and the party. I believe in him to lead India into the 21st century. I don't think there is a single politician in India who could have done better with all the diversity, opposition to everything he does. In past 50 years, no one was able to bring India close to superpowers like he has done and he has put India on the roadmap. Lot of work needs to be done still but I woud rather have Atalaji then anyone else leading the country and for that reason, he is my Indian of the year followed closely by Karnam Malleshwari.
