Islamic State leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump were among the eight candidates shortlisted by Time magazine on Monday for its annual ‘Person of the Year’ title. Editors chose a shortlist of candidates for the ‘2015 Person of the Year’. PM Modi, Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and Google’s India-born CEO Sundar Pichai were among the initial 58 global leaders, business chiefs and pop icons that Time had named as contenders for its annual honour but the three did not make the final shortlist announced here. Modi was a contender for the honour last year also and while he was not chosen the Person of the Year by Time editors, he was named winner of the readers’ poll, securing more than 16 per cent of the almost five million votes cast.
