Dr Manmohan Singh was a man of few words but a stalwart economist who removed India from being a burdened nation to one that stands tall among various nations in the twenty-first century.
If the watershed moment of liberalisation hadn’t happened in 1991 under the watchful eyes of Dr Singh and Former PM Narasimha Rao, India wouldn’t have shone like it does at the moment. A country with sound economists and people who manage the GDP of the nation, Dr. Manmohan Singh brought stability to a nation which was only independent for 40 years in the nineties, and everything could have gone kaput.
With a slew of economic reforms and opening up the nation to foreign, focus-driven investments, Dr Manmohan Singh will be remembered as a supreme economist who straightened the backbone of the nation.
He also held the Prime Minister post for two terms from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s. However, he will be remembered for his economic undertaking and guidance while people continue to debate his leadership as the premier of a nation.
Losing a visionary, Dr Manmohan Singh will leave a gaping hole within the economic fraternity of the nation and has left the nation deeply sorrowed.
As a citizen of this populous and prosperous nation, each Indian is indebted to Dr Singh for putting the nation forward, not succumbing to any axis of nation stranglehold and shaping India into an economic powerhouse. Our economic rise is due to him and his team, who made critical decisions in the 1990s.
Respect for Dr Singh as he enters a new world completes his role in this birth as a supreme economist and lays the path to prosperity that will carry us and our future generations towards larger peaks of success.
Saluting Dr Manmohan Singh’s spirit to excel and his love for India! Jai Hind!
