#ManmohanSingh the man who devoted his entire life working for the country without the due appreciation. 

- Initiated economic reforms in 1991.

- Pulled India out of recession.

- Secured the Indo-U.S. Civil Nuclear Deal.

- Achieved consistent GDP growth above 7%.

- Increased funding for education and healthcare.

- Launched the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA).

- Invested in infrastructure development.

- Strengthened India's foreign relations.

- Promoted science and technology.

- Implemented financial sector reforms.

- Addressed social inequalities through reservations.

In return, always got humiliated by the opposition, people called him robot, silent PM and what not, today like he always said , History is judging him wisely.

I have nothing against him. But him being propelled as great economist - is contestable. 

PV Rao opened the markets in India. That guy was pioneer of modern Indian economics. 

Dr. Singh also has these stats.

I had forgotten that he was still alive, let alone a member of the Rajya Sabha

Incidentally, the credit that he gets for the reforms in 1991 when he transformed from a bureaucrat to a politician actually belonged to PVNR.  After all, he was a socialist bureaucrat, and socialist bureaucrats don't magically transform overnight into free-market economic-liberals.  After his first 2 budgets, he was lauded, but looking back, there is no way that could have happened w/o directives from PVNR.  Note that during that time, Sonia was still a grieving widow, so was unlikely to have had much input into policy

Oh, and it was also under his watch that not only did 26/11 happen, but it was dealt w/ pretty ineptly by his govt after it happened

You tagged the wrong person. Vijay is hardcore nationalist sanghi. Only Modi's hindu appeasement policies are appreciated here.

He's owned this site since 2008, iirc.  If he is Sanghi, it was a very well kept secret, certainly during that time.  Even after 2014, IF has always seemed more secular than Sanghi.  I've seen some pro-🕉 people mention that they came here pretty apprehensively in the Ram temple thread, not knowing whether it would be welcomed or denounced.  In fact, I've been a participant in several show forums, and there was always a good number of seculars & muslims.  I doubt they'd have come had they thought it to be a "communal" site
