good quesn... various reasons fot it - actually a list-

US visit - he particularly emphasized that US bureaucrats are foolish in treating Pakistan and India as equals and that they had assisted terrorist and nuclear programmes in many countries.
He also managed to strike a deal with US on the nuclear energy cooperation issue.

The incredible growth rate of 8.1% in the last 6-month period.
India's stock market is breaking records of highs.
FDI inflows are at a high too. & all this inspite of the anti-reform coalition partners(Left).

The Centre has somehow managed to handle Tsunami,J&K earthquake, mumbai,chennai floods.

Besides he has maintained his clean image & is easily one of the most respected politicians in the country. I am sure you must have read articles about his lifestyle
But it is still maintained that he is a puppet-PM and I dont really care about that

Atleast I cant think of a better Indian achiever...

hey paheli was a good movie baring the songs.

it deals with a riddle a women goes through when she has to choose between a husband who has left her the night after their marriage and a bhoot in disguise of her husband.

also india's nomination for the oscars, im among the few ppl who think so, but i recogn it can make it to the top five nominations.
