List of top 10 role models in India
Ladies who have set a trend and are role model for many indian women.
These women are an ideal whom many woman from india consider their role
models.
Sonia Gandhi - in the field of politics
The woman who comes to mind at the top of the list is none other than
the President of the ruling Congress Party, Mrs Sonia Gandhi. I admire
her for her courage, her determination, and her dedication to the people
of the country that she has adopted as her own after she got married to
Rajiv Gandhi (Former Prime Minister).
"Sonia Gandhi nee Maino was born on December 9, 1946 in Orbassano,
near Turin in Italy. She was No.3 in Forbes magazine's list of The
World’s 100 Most Powerful Women."

Arundhati Roy - in the field of literature
Kiran Bedi - in the field of administration and security
I admire Kiran Bedi for becoming the first woman IPS officer in
India, a field that was dominated by men for so long. She paved the way
for many other women to follow suit in her footsteps. She showed a great
amount of courage and dedication to her work and won the respect of all
her colleagues who worked with her. She transformed the Tihar Jail
completely during her stint there and made things much better for the
inmates. She also helped inmates transform to lead a better life. As a
Delhi traffic police in-charge she was dreaded by even the hotshots of
the capital.
Kiran Bedi has been voted as India's most admired woman and fifth amongst all Indians.
Shabana Azmi: Art, acting and entertainment
If both the Hindu and Muslim extremists issue fatwas against her, she
must be doing something good! This actress-turned-social activist has
taken on such causes as the plight of Mumbai slum-dwellers and national
integration. Probably the best actress of India, ever, (especially after
the premature death of Smita Patil) she was never afraid to take on
unorthodox movie roles, right from a whorehouse madam to a lesbian.
“Gracious, fearless, intelligent and a beautiful person” is how someone
describes her.
Shabana Azmi is a multi-faceted woman who has achieved success in
many fields. She is an actor, a Member of Parliament in Rajya Sabha, a
social activist, a philanthropist, and a strong proponent for women
empowerment.
Not only that, she has also addressed various Universities across the
world on the need to relate communal harmony to issues of social
justice.She was born to the famous Urdu Poet Kaifi Azmi and her mother
was a famous stage artist Shaukat Kaifi.
Lata Mangeshkar: in the field of music
India's nightingale, that too for decades at a stretch. But, perhaps
benefited quite a bit from the hype and the media attention because I
personally think that her contemporaries like P. Susila of the South,
are just as great and prolific singers.
Shobhaa De
Shobhaa De is one of India's best selling authors and has written
thirteen books all of which have topped the best sellers lists in India.
I admire her guts and courage to be able to voice her strong, often
controversial opinions on any and all subjects and people. She is a
renowned columnist for various publications and her columns are read by
one and all.
She has to her credit, founded and edited three popular magazines -
Stardust, Society and Celebrity. She is married and has six children.
However, she keeps herself fit and looking beautiful as ever and is
always seen in elite society with all the Glitz and Glammor. She has
held her own and is respected by all her contemporaries.
“Ms De shocks India, and much of its literary set like no other writer today” New York Times
Hema Malini
Hema Malini is also known as the "Dream Girl" of Bollywood. She is
one of the most beautiful actresses to have graced the silver screen
during the colorful era of the 70's. She struggled a lot during her
initial days, but made her mark in Hindi Cinema with "Sapnon ke
Saudagar". She has never looked back since.
She is not only a successful actress, but also a Member of parliament
in the Rajya Sabha, a renowned Bharat Natyam dancer, and the editor to a
succesful woman's magazine. She has achieved a lot in her career and is
now helping to build a cultural center to promote Indian art and dance.
She had a lot of guts to romance and then marry the hottest star of
those days, Dharmendra, who was a married man. She has two daughters
from that marriage and remains free to chase her dreams and ambitions.
Amrita Pritam: A
prolific writer who is active even now, even though she is over eighty.
Her feminism-based themes and stories were way ahead of their time.
