Miss India girls
Femina Miss India is an annual, national beauty pageant held in India and organized by Femina, a women's magazine published by Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd, a
media group which also houses the Times of India and Filmfare magazine. The use of Miss India is in no way trademarked. In the 1940s and 1950s, a small,
conservative contest was held by the press where the title was bestowed. From 1959 into the late 1980s, Eve's Weekly, a rival magazine, held its own "Miss India"
contest. Star TV, one of India's largest channels, also has held a tv-based "Miss India" contest.
The Femina Miss India competition began in 1964 as a small, closed-off event. From that year, Femina gained the local license to the international Miss Universe
competition. Towards the end of the 1960s, it picked up licenses to both Miss World and the Miss Asia-Pacific Quest. In the early 1990's, it finally picked up the
license for Miss International. Femina Miss India has been held annually, except for 1989.
Miss India are the winners of the Miss India beauty pageant held annually. Starting 1964, the pageant has been held by the Femina magazine, and is referred to as
Femina Miss India. Prior to 1964, Miss India was selected by Eve's weekly in 1959, 1960, 1961 and 1962. In 1947 and 1952, the winners were chosen by the Indian
press.
Juhi Chawla, Miss India 1984Miss India has been participating in the Miss Universe pageant since 1952, starting with Indrani Rehman; and in the Miss World
pageant since 1959, starting with Fleur Ezekiel. After the Femina Miss India pageant was established, the practice was to send the winner to the Miss Universe
pageant and the runner-up to the Miss World contest. Usually a second-runner up or an independent pageant winner would be sent to international pageants like
Miss Asia, Miss International and Miss Asia-Pacific. Starting from 1995, the practice of choosing a single winner or "Miss India" was changed to instead elect
representatives to the different international pageants, and three winners, who receive equal prizes and status but are called Miss India winners, are chosen, and
designated Miss India Universe, Miss India World and Miss India Asia-Pacific. As of 2002, the third winner would no longer be sent to Miss Asia-Pacific, but to the
newly formed Miss Earth pageant.
The awards for 1989 were given at the end of the year (December), hence there was no separate contest for 1990.
The year 1994 was a landmark year for the pageant industry in India when the Bengali Tigress, Sushmita Sen won the Miss Universe title after winning the Miss India
crown. Sushmita Sen became the first Indian woman ever to win the Miss Universe crown. The same year the runner-up of Miss India, Aishwarya Rai, won the Miss
World title. Both the Miss Universe and Miss World contests were won by Miss Indias [[Sushmita Sen]Miss India] and [[Aishwarya Rai]Miss India 94 runner-up]
respectively. Today Rai is a global star and the top Bollywood actress. After Sushmita Sen became a beauty queen, coaching institutions were set up to groom girls in
pageant participation skills. The number of participants in the preliminary rounds of the pageant has increased considerably. Pageant winners are also groomed for
months in preparation for the international contest.
In 2000 all the Miss India winners happened to win their respective international pageants - Lara Dutta (Miss Universe), Priyanka Chopra (Miss World) and Diya Mirza
(Miss Asia-Pacific).
