The Greatest Indian
''The Greatest Indian'' was a poll sponsored by Reliance Mobile and conducted by ''Outlook'' magazine, in partnership with CNN-IBN and The History Channel. The poll was conducted from June to August 2012, with the winner, Babasaheb Dr.B.R. Ambedkar, announced on 11 August. A program associated with the poll aired from 4 June until 15 August.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Greatest Indian: Terms of Use )〕
Unlike other editions of Greatest Britons spin-offs, ''The Greatest Indian'' did not include people from all time periods of history. Two reasons were given for this choice. The first was that "the pre-independence history of India is dominated by Mahatma Gandhi and it is impossible for anyone to come close to the Father of the Nation
*(not father of nation anymore according to the Indian government and constitution) when it comes to Leadership, Impact and Contribution. () The panel of experts felt that if Gandhiji were to be included in the list, there would be no competition for title of The Greatest Indian".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Greatest Indian: FAQ )〕 Secondly, ''The Greatest Indian'' chose to focus on India as a modern nation: "India today is unrecongnizable from the India that got independence in 1947. This nation has achieved this stature in the world thanks to contribution from millions of Indians. This is an effort to recognise one who has made the maximum contribution and impact in the surge of independent India".〔
