Globalism..

Recently, I was reading the Time magazine (May 14, 2007 edition) which published 'The Most Influential People in The World - The Time 100". I immediately started searching for some Indian names and was indeed happy to find three!

Sonia Gandhi - Under Leaders and Revolutionaries.
Indra Nooyi - Under Builders and Titans.
Lakshmi Mittal - Again under Builders and Titans.

But then I started thinking and could not find an answer to my question that crossed my mind. But why did the question even cross my mind? Here's the reason why..

Sonia Gandhi :" The Italian who became India's kingmaker. India is run in all but name by an Italian Catholic widow with a high school education. ThoughSingh is the Prime Minister, it is Sonia, 60, who is the Kingmaker"

Point to be noted : Italian catholic.

Indra Nooyi - CEO PepsiCo: " Nooyi helped position PepsiCo for growth in China, the middle East and her native India. (She is now a US citizen)".

Point to be noted: US citizen.

Lakshmi Mittal - The world's Fifth richest man and CEO of Arcelor Mittal:"Lakshmi Nivas Mittal (born June 15, 1950) is a London-based Indian billionaire industrialist. He is the 5th richest person in the world".

Point to be noted: London-based Indian

Is this globalism....Indians holding higher positions abroad and 'Videshi bahu' as India's kingmaker ??
