Shashi Tharoor, MP, Thiruvananthapuram
One of the things that was remarkable about the government's conduct of the presidency was that they did something that no previous G-20 presidency has done. They actually made it a huge nationwide event. 200 meetings in 58 cities, a huge amount of action, and the conversion of the G-20 into a sort of people's G-20 with public events... civil society and think tank meetings all of these things were unprecedented. No other country has done anything like that.
