Miss India ...

... yet another file that desperately was waiting for its creation. Now it's there, but it seems to only name those ladies, who successfully swapped catwalk for silverscreen. What about the others?

Have they been forgotten? Certainly not! So please share with us any bit of information you might have. Simply send it to Volker who'll then add it to the list below.

Thanks to Neelima we have a nice list now. But that list needs confirmation. On a couple of occassion we have more than one Miss India in a specific year. That must mean, that there either the names of runners up are also given or that a Miss Asia etc. has slipped into the wrong area. If you can help us to sort that out, please do!


Good news: Lara Dutta from Mumbai has been crowned "Miss Universe 2000"
