From UN delegate to PM: A six-decade view of Manmohan Singh

Hindustan Times  

Few can claim to have witnessed former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s journey from a young UN delegate to India’s top office as close as Inderjit Singh Chadha, former Indian Foreign Service officer and ambassador, did with an association that spans nearly six decades. “When I arrived in New York, Manmohan Singh was just a junior officer there while I was India’s delegate,” recalled Chadha, now settled in Chandigarh’s Sector 36. “This is from where he started his international career.” Their friendship, maintained through occasional meetings and frequent phone calls, gave Chadha a unique window into Singh’s most challenging moments. “His family also wanted him to resign at that time, but I counselled him to stand up and assert himself as he had unfinished business.” The position of being Singh’s confidant wasn’t always easy.
