Email:balpreetz@usa.net
Nomination:The soldiers of India
Reason why:This year India decided to act rather than talk about a peace agreement with Pakistan. Well, this decision was made by our politicians but the responsibility of implementing it was left to the Indian jawans. Everybody knows what happened in Kargil at the end of which India stood proud. So many jawans laid down their lives so that we could live in freedom. They were just ordinary people whom we never knew and whom we will never know. This year, the vote for the Indian of the year should go to each and every jawan without whom India would not be the same today. I think it would be far better than nominating an actor or a cricket player for whom money is everything.
