Pope Benedict XVI has the 11th ranking because of his brutal conversion practice in many third world countries as in India as a long traditional tactics of Popes. Some called it the terrorism to the diversity of indigenous cultures. He poured billions of Euros to convert people with money brainwashing them “Indigenous culture is evil”. Conversion has become illegal in India but he continues to do it by encouraging billions to be poured in and used in converting purposes. He must be prosecuted as a crime offender, the worst cultural terrorist. Indian Congress gets a lot of political benefits from these practices so it is supporting such illigal activities indirectly and making Indian culture to deteriorate. This should come in to attention of international eyes and media. and it has to be largely criticized and condemned.

“Is this list a fascinating reflection of changing world dynamics where industrialists, politicians, and drug traffickers hold equal power over the masses?” ..

That’s a very interesting article. Forbes clearly has some kind of a slant, but it’s very interesting to see how they’ve arranged the list. Not what I would have expected.

@Anand – Welcome to Amreekandesi, and thanks for the appreciation! Good point you raise about the corporate connections leading to potential biases.

@Kavi –

@Vinod – Yes, this does seem to be a strange compilation.

@Amlistening – Exactly. Sonia is widely believed to be the real leader of the Congress Govt, more powerful than our PM.

@Geetika – More people believe in Google than Jesus, but people wont change the way they live if Larry Page asked them to. On the other hand, if the Pope were to ask Christians to stop smoking, one industry would incur heavy losses. That’s power.

@Munish – Yups…thats the way the world goes!

I dunno, coz somewhere in their little universe where the list was derived from, more people believe in Google than those who do in Jesus?
It wouldn’t surprise me if that was true, too.

Well some believe that world politics is ruled by coporates so am not surprised. BTW Sonia Gandhi not on the list at all proves that results are rigged. I remember last time somewhere she was shown priority over MMSingh, Congress was hit with blames of pupet PM.

I agree with your assessment of this list. In fact I will not be surprised if Dawood’s name too was “sponsored”. It is time we stopped paying attention to these ridiculous lists.

Well, for a long time, commerce has been determining power. If the GDP of Norway is the about 2 % of Microsoft earnings, well, there is a power equation that gets built in there. Doesnt it !

The other questions of why Brazil won over France is something interesting to take note of. And that too with Carla Bruni on France’s side.

Wait a minute…was it because of that…? !!
