not just sachin. Where is SRK and Salman? These two are powerful men in bollywood industry.

How the hell did Rohit Sharma feature in this ahead of Virat?

List looks suspect.
That too 24 places ahead can't be true as even now all the broadcasters use Kohli's pic as the logo of any tour
 
completely missed his list.

Question for you and other Indian posters - how many of these are military personnell?
Indian military behaves like old English guard.they lives in their world and doesn't wants to interact with real world. So the parallel world leaders are not interested much in public shows. At max most of the Indians may heard army chief as he interacts with media on neighbourhood issues but not about naval or air force chief.
 
I doubt many Gen Z’s even know who Vishy Anand was. Even though it is good to see him getting recognition, I doubt he has any popular support of even Surya Kumar Yadav or Jasper Bumrah🙏
It's not like that. Hikaru , us chess gm. Have made a detailed analysis on the influence of anand on Indian youngsters. If u see most of the chess players are trained by him or sent to training by his peers .
 
The first two are certain. So no surprises there.

Other positions look like someone just ChatGPT’d.
Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani should be higher imo.

Adani is politically connected with higher ups. He's not just your avg billionaire who's focused on simply running his own business. The same can be said for Mukesh ambani although he's not as politically connected as Adani is.

However ambani does fuel india's economy.

General Upendra Dwivedi (No. 27) –

Chief of Army Staff (COAS)

Although military remains the most respected institution in our country by far, the military itself stays completely out of politics. It’s not that they couldn’t have staged a coupe at various moments in our history but respect to them for staying out it.

Oh he's an actual general I thought it was his name.

Interesting he's only number 27 and ambanis and son of the nation Jay Shah are ahead.

The list is very subjective. No doubt the major political leaders are extremely powerful. They always say political power is the real power. But it’s also true that in a democracy the leaders come and go and once they leave the office their influence suddenly drops. Ambanis however have been the richest family for decades now and they’re in a very good position to keep it going. Ambani and Adani are both major influencers from our corporate sector.
