Dr. Manmohan Singh, the ex- Prime Minister of India, is a real man of the masses. From Lamp Post to PM’s Post is the story of his life. Nobody could ever imagine that the young boy who had used to pour over his lessons for long hours in the light of a street lamp post would one day become the Prime Minister of this great democracy of the world.
Born in 1933 in Rawalpindi, Manmohan Singh lived in Amritsar for 15 years with his nine siblings after his father Gurumukh Singh shifted his business to Amritsar during the days of the Partition of the subcontinent. From his school days at Hindu Sabha School, he “was a voracious reader.” Baffled by his son’s surprising devotion to books, his father once remarked: “At this rate Manmohan will become the Prime Minister of India.” How prophetic were his words!
After post graduating from the Government College Hoshiarpur, Manmohan joined the Punjab University and became a full professor at the age of just 32 years. He as a popular teacher in Economics department of the University where he was loved and revered by his students and colleagues alike. Having left Chandigarh in 1967, he worked for some very prestigious institutions including the London School of Economics (U.K.), Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, South-South Commission, Asian Development Bank, Reserve Bank of India and the UGC.
He plunged into full time politics in 1991 when he became the Finance Minister of India. It was he who set the ball of liberalization and economic reforms rolling. HE put the shattered economy of the country back on the rails and pushed it onwards to buoyant strides, never to look back again. His stint as Finance Minister had made him a popular leader with a clean image.
It is his image as a clean politician and a great economist with a soft-spoken style that won him the great honour of being selected to lead the country after the Congress and its allies won the Lok Sabha elections in May, 2004. HE does not have the charisma or the political legacy of the Nehru. Gandhi dynasty, yet he emerged as the Congress Party’s first rank choice when Sonia Gandhi withdrew herself from the post offered to her. Dr. Manmohan Singh’s choice was hailed by one and all, including his political opponents.
Dr. Manmohan Singh and his Cabinet have already take charge and started working in full flow. Everybody hopes that they will be able to steer the country on to a position of prosperity and progress in the coming years.
