‘History will rightfully count Manmohan Singh as a founding father of modern India’

The Hindu  

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s life reads like the ultimate dream. This was quintessential Dr. Singh — the unflinching patriot, the humble knowledge seeker, the thoughtful opinion maker, the constant guardian of people’s welfare, and the perennial nation-builder. ‘Be attached to purpose’ Dr. Singh’s greatest challenge was navigating the mines of India’s and the Congress party’s politics. But the true legacy of Dr. Singh, as he may have preferred, would be to inspire and motivate young people to enter public life and uphold the highest ideals in service to the nation. At a time when devious, demagogic politics is hailed as ‘Chanakyan’, when the pursuit of power has supplanted all decency and decorum in public life, when showmanship trumps workmanship, one wonders if the era of the politics of sincerity, humility, integrity and service will also end with Dr. Manmohan Singh’s passing.
