Well, that’s quite the surprise! YouGov.co.uk, created a list of World’s Most Admired 2019 personalities which includes numerous South Asian names. Check out who made this year’s list.

Noted international online research organization YouGov.co.uk released their annual list of World’s Most Admired 2019. Tabulated in two parts, the first collection of data was done in December with asking panellists from 41 countries (where their population makes up more than two-thirds of the world’s population) was asked one question: “Thinking about people alive in the world today, which [man or woman] would you most admire?.” Nominations were then compiled into two lists of 20 men and 20 women who, according to YouGov “received the most nominations and were nominated in at least four countries. In addition, 10 popular local figure were added to the lists for individual countries”.

The second part of this polling was conducted in field work from March to June of this year, where the two lists were then used to poll each of the 41 countries by asking two more questions: “Who do you truly admire?” where multiple selections were allowed and “Who do you MOST admire” where only one selection can be made by the respondents. All of the results from the three questions were then combined to create a percentage value of admiration. YouGov believed that by asking these questions “we can understand both the breadth (i.e: global reach) and the intensity of a person’s support.”
