Manmohan Singh: A testament to the power of quiet conviction

Live Mint  

When prime minister Narasimha Rao handpicked Dr Manmohan Singh as finance minister in 1991, it was an audacious gamble. Facing a near-catastrophic balance-of-payments crisis, Singh unlocked India with reforms, dismantled decades-old red tape, and gave wings to the nation’s entrepreneurial spirit. An economist of rare brilliance, a statesman of unshakable integrity, and a man of quiet yet unyielding resolve, Dr Singh leaves behind a legacy that defies the noisy rhetoric of politics. Coalition government When Dr Singh became India’s prime minister in 2004, leading a coalition government, sceptics predicted he would be a figurehead. Dr Singh’s life is a testament to the power of quiet conviction—the powerful sound of silence.
