L to R: PM Modi, Shaheen Bagh daadi Bilkis
For the fourth time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it to TIME magazines ₹100 Most Influential People of 2020 since 2014. PM Modi was named under the category of leaders along with US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Apart from Modi, several others including Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Professor Ravindra Gupta too featured on the annual list. Gupta, in 2019, had spearheaded a study, which led to the second man in history being cured of HIV in London.
Interestingly, the list also featured one of the most prominent faces of the anti-CAA protests: an 82-year-old woman Bilkis who staged protest at Delhis Shaheen Bagh every single day until the COVID-19 lockdown in the country.
