I talkin' about the upper half of the list, mind you) cannot make a country hot (or cold!). And we are talking about India, aren't we?
Substantiating this a bit, could those women help in uplifting the 70% Indian population that lives below poverty line?
Winning a WTA title or being a Miss World isn't enough to make the country hot .
I say Kiran Mazumdar Shaw is one woman which India and Indians must be proud of.
She is the richest woman in India of course but you know what, her company has, besides,providing jobs to millions, skyrocketed india's position to NO.10 in the field of Biotechnology.
And IMO, you should have Anju Bobby George's name too on the list( well, she fits the criteria of selection for your list, I guess.)
Ok spidergal, Does that mean America shouldn't be proud of Elizabeth Taylor or Madonna or sharapova just b'coz they are not businesswomen and have not created any employment in US?
See...... Kiran Mazumdar Shaw or Anju Bobby George or other great women (who may not be in my list) are equally contributing to serve INDIA in their respective fields. The post respects WOMEN in India and them to be an INDIAN and INDIA to have them.
I agree many of these women are not famous abroad ... but what the hell... there are still many people in the world who dunno anything about India beyond the Taj Mahal or Mahatma Gandhi. So being famous outside INDIA isn't a criteria for a country to special. Those women in my list were not specified for proving India to the HOTTEST and COOLEST country in the world but to indicate that it has REASONS to be one.
The mail was written in full respect to these women and for their achievement in the their fields and work in my personal opinion.
.... And please stop calling india to be having 70% people below poverty line. Its 35% (average).... officially declared by World Bank.
ahh ....cool down vinsan
