The Man of Integrity

He is a man who inherited all inner quality we envy for. Honesty, integrity, intellectual by own right and soft spoken yet he was ridicule by of his own man those known as over the top politico and humiliated by most of  illiterate opposition as good as a chai-walla too and betrayed by his own man. Now, time will tell actually whodunit  for India and I will be wait for it. He also can be call as father of economy reform and globalization. At the end of his ten year tenure he himself know more than anybody that what he intended to do he could not because due to presence of unfaithful and corrupt element in his government. I feel sad because it was so dirty over there that a respected man like him always was misfit to the dirty tricks played around. He,  himself maintains that history will judge him - and his government - far better than his peers or the contemporary. He continues to maintain, quite contrary to popular perception of 'policy paralysis, that "no other decade has recorded as much development as there has been in the last 10 years" of the UPA under his prime ministership. A little from the life of Mr. Manmohan Singh what I bound to put together.

Early Life

Singh was born to Gurmukh Singh and Amrit Kaur on 26 September 1932, in Gah, Punjab (Pakistan).  He lost his mother when he was very young and was raised by his paternal grandmother, to whom he was very close.

Education

After the Partition of India, his family migrated to Amritsar, India, where he studied at Hindu College. He attended Panjab University, Chandigarh. studying Economics and got his bachelor's and master's degrees in 1952 and 1954, respectively, standing first throughout his academic career. He completed his Economics Tripos at University of Cambridge as he was a member of St John's College in 1957.

Family

Singh married Gursharan Kaur in 1958. They have three daughters, Upinder Singh, Daman Singh and Amrit Singh. Upinder Singh is a professor of history at Delhi University. She has written six books, including Ancient Delhi (1999) and A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India. Daman Singh is a graduate of St. Stephen's College, Delhi and Institute of Rural Management, Anand, Gujarat, and author of The Last Frontier: People and Forests in Mizoram and a novel Nine by Nine, she is married to an I.P.S official Ashok Patnaik who is on deputation to Intelligence Bureau. Amrit Singh is a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union.

Finance

n June 1991, India's Prime Minister at the time, P.V. Narasimha Rao, chose Singh to be his Finance Minister. Singh told Mark Tully the British journalist in 2005 “Rao sent his Principal Secretary to me saying, `The PM would like you to become the Minister of Finance’. I didn’t take it seriously. He eventually tracked me down the next morning, rather angry, and demanded that I get dressed up and come to Rashtrapati Bhavan for the swearing in. So that’s how I started in politics”

Prime Minister

After the 2004 general elections, the Indian National Congress becoming the political party with the single largest number of seats in the Lok Sabha. Chairperson Sonia Gandhi declared Manmohan Singh, as the UPA candidate for the Prime Ministership. In 2009, Congress led UPA returned to power and Manmohan Singh was sworn in as the Prime Minister fro second term.

Perhaps, if Manmohan Singh were better advised, especially in his second term, Manmohan may still have been the star brand on whose work the Congress rode to victory in 2009.
