One thing I thought I would mention is that India has been a real powerhouse at Miss World, as well. This is a pageant that takes place in England, and tends to be aired in Europe, but not in North America (I think you need a satellite dish).
Another interesting tidbit for you Americans is that way back when, Miss Canada actually used to go to Miss America! Doesn't that seem strange now?
Here is a historical picture:
"Miss Canada 1949, Margaret Lynn Munn (center left), in the famous bathing beauty-scholarship spectacle known as Miss America. She was a preliminary talent winner and semi-finalist in the pageant."
