India's global stature has improved most during the past year, according to a new BBC poll.
India is viewed most favorably by Indonesians, followed by Canadians, Britishers, Nigerians, Russians and Americans. Its most unfavorable ratings come from Hungarians, Egyptians, Portuguese, Turks and Brazilians.
The BBC survey asked over 28,000 people in 27 countries whether certain countries had a "mostly positive or mostly negative influence in the world." The survey found that Canada and Japan were viewed most favorably and Israel and Iran most unfavorably.
