So-called "power lists" are always interesting to read and most American ones show a Yankee bias, of course. So I was glad to see the Guardian's MediaGuardian 100 list, which brings its British bias, even though Google's Sergei Brin and Larry Page are #1 on the list. Looking at the list with my Desi-spotting lens, I found only one South Asian on the list (would have expected more, actually).
