You might know them, seen their photos and now it is time to hear them. The first video introduction of our lovely ladies has been published online on our facebook and youtube channels. Sorry, but we could not have published all 20 of them on here. Not unless we combined all into one video. Which would have eroded its individuality and uniqueness.
They now have a media of their own. One created to promote their voices to the community. These videos were self-made, with some guidance from us. They must have learned a thing or two along the way. We are proud of them. Henceforth, we will soon produce more videos to express their viewpoints, talent and accomplishments.
Miss Indian Internationaol 2012 is a combination of glamour and character-building, with a keen focus on the development of communication skills.
This is the first part of a series of exercises we have designed for each lady to speak with ease, no matter how nervous she is. Watching their first video you will notice that some started with a very catchy introduction, something that just automatically catches your attention. Others had a good idea to tell a story about themselves. Whatever it was, the difference was prevalent, and still is. However diverse and varied, all beautiful, nonetheless. Hence the title "Beauty Is In The Difference". Clearly representing the principal message of Miss Indian International 2012, which is to not only increase the awareness of cultural differences that exist, or is perceived, but to accept and embrace the difference in unity as one. As Indians.

With a new batch of contestants ready and eager to join this journey, we thought it would be perfect to get the first 20 contestants to express themselves. Guided by Sashi Maala, a training video was created by our Pageant Trainer, Ms Jayshree Manuferan, which included tips on how the ladies should project themselves in an introduction video. We knew this was going to be a challenging experience for most of them, but, they all did just fine. For starters at least. There is much to improve but that will come with practice. Lots of it. We have spaced the pageant out for these ladies to receive adequate assistance and exposure, to empower them to become better at every level, even in the smallest of acts.
Unlike most pageant, Miss Indian International is not just an appeal to vanity, it has many elements that stress, intelligence, poise, sense of purpose, friendship, social skills and benevolence over appearance, where its contestants serve as "Ambassadors of Peace, Beauty and Friendship", showing individuality, tenderness, beauty, ability to take action, and, most importantly, a great international sensibility. The ultimate goal of Miss Indian International pageant is to promote peace, goodwill, environmental awareness and social cohesion within the “Greater Indian Community” where, we hope, friendships that are made will last a lifetime. Values we want them to embrace even when they go on to a successful modelling or show business careers. We can already distinguish some as pageant quality and others as models. There is a vast distinction which is often misunderstood. The underlining qualities are, nevertheless, all the same; INNER BEAUTY. We are hoping to guide them all the way, through our innovative and exclusively designed pageant system.
In conclusion, we would like to say "BRILLIANT EFFORT" to all the ladies. We would also like to say we know how difficult it has been, and will be, for them to express their thoughts and feelings in front of a camera. Its easy for some, but not for all. So we urge everyone to respect all their efforts. A sincere request from all of us at Mii 2012.
These videos have set our sites and channel ablaze. Thank you everyone for all your positive and thoughtful comments. And Thank You, Mr Murali Kanasappa, for your comment "Pageant videos are notorious of being bimbotic and air-headed, but this was elegant, succinct and genuine. Well done!". We could not have have concluded this article any better, Sir!
