For the first time in years, no Indian has made TIME Magazine’s 2025 list of 100 Most Influential People, with figures like Muhammad Yunus and Donald Trump taking prominent spots.

 No person from India has found a place in this list, which is surprising. Usually, every year, some Indian used to find a place in it and sometimes up to a dozen celebrities were given a place. In 2024, Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt and Olympic wrestler Sakshi Malik also found a place in it.

No Indian on Time's 100 most influential list

The list of 100 people released by Time magazine is also divided into different categories. These categories are - Leaders, Icons, Titans and Actors. Apart from this, innovators and pioneers are also given a place in it.  Now she is the CEO of a famous biotechnology company of America. British PM Keir Starmer has got a place in the list of leaders. Apart from this, Nobel Prize winner Mohammad Yunus is also a part of it. US Vice President JD Vance is also included in it.

Big leaders like Xi Jinping and Putin are also not included
Big personalities like Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are not included in this list. Leaders of powerful European countries like France and Germany have also not found a place. The reason for this is that only those leaders are included in Time Magazine's list of influential people who have emerged recently and their arrival has brought about some change or impact.

Why has Mohammad Yunus got a place in the list
Perhaps this is the reason why top leaders from India to China and Russia have not found a place in this list. Last year, Sakshi Malik found a place in it because the wrestlers' movement was going on at that time and she remained in the news. Apart from this, Alia Bhatt was also in the news for her films and personal life. Bangladesh leader Mohammad Yunus has also found a place for the same reason because he has recently taken over the power of the country and the situation in the country has changed since his arrival.
