Social media agency Pinstorm tracks Twitter influencers in india, and put together regular reports on this. Their top influencers are predictably all celebrities, though interestingly, the top two spotsare not for people from the movie industry. As per Pinstorm's rankings,number one is @DalaiLama, the account of the Dalai Lama, and the secondspot is held by by @narendramodi, the BJP leader.

Post that, there is the Bollywood brigade beginning with Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan all the way till AR Rahman. Sachin Tendulkar breaks the Bollywood streak, but Aamir Khan comes in at number 10.
