Fixerpreneurs rose under UPA-2. They got listed on the stock markets in boom times, and kept leveraging their balance sheets as if the train will never stop.
We have failed terribly at two important things. One, we are reacting to this issue only emotionally, not logically. And two, we are not asking the right questions.
WhatsApp privacy policy case is among a string of matters involving practices like restrictive platform rules, pricing & billing policies, reflecting India’s tight scrutiny of market dominance.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Manmohan Singh seemed to be helpless before India’s first terrorist organization who was also responsible for killing of Mahatma Gandhi and also Sikhs. That organization seems to be so powerful that its members are even in Supreme Court of India. The illegal and unconstitutional language used in logo of Supreme Court of India is due to such terrorists only.
I think too much has been made of Dr Man Mohan Singh’s scholarship. There are thousands and thousands of professors in this world who are thoroughly knowledgeable about their subject. They all deserve to be, and ARE respected. They need not be, and ARE NOT “revered”. That’s the problem with we Indians; we do not know the difference between “respect” and “reverence”. We very quickly go overboard and stop asking questions of a respected person because for us he becomes revered. This is what has been happening with regard to Mr Narendra Modi — no one has asked him any questions; and this is what people more or less do with regard to Dr Man Mohan Singh.
Why has no one asked Dr Singh why he did not quit in last two years of UPA II when he realized that the Opposition, particularly BJP, his allies like Mr Raja and Mamta Didi, his own party’s leaders weren’t allowing him to function? Or did he even realize it? Did he have any control over even a lightweight like Suresh Kalmadi who was leading a hugely corrupt Commonwealth Games preparatory effort? Or did he even know what was going on?
If in 2014 a not-so-funny “Jack” emerged “out of the box”, named Narendra Modi, then Dr Singh was one of the TWO magicians who were responsible for the miracle. Mr Modi emerged larger than life mainly because of UPA II’s glaring failures particularly in its last two years. The other “magician” who gave a larger than life persona to Narendra Modi was LK Advani. He “protected” him in 2002 when PM Vajpeyi wanted to dismiss the Gujarat government.
The creation of these two magical personalities, Mr Modi is absolutely on a rampage in last five years in turning the democracy and secularism of this country upside down. Even sacrosanct institutions, all of them one by one, have been losing their sacrosanctity. How much more “re-definition” of our country’s cherished values he and the BJP will succeed in doing will, or should, largely determine whether history will remember Dr Man Mohan Singh kindly or not.
Manmohan singh ji became a prime minister due to BJP. Bhartiya Janta Party protested against Sonia Gandhi becoming the prime minister of India and that is why Manmohan ji became prime minister. I am not sure if Manmohan ji is the first Sikh prime minister of the country (?). But due to BJP India got one of it few or first Sikh prime minister. Where was his Sikh pride? Why didn’t he do much for his Sikh community when he was elected as the prime minister of India? At least Bjp and PM Narendra Modi ji is proud of his roots and his culture. Manmohan ji and congress are always aping the colonial culture left by British by not giving any importance to our native languages and our culture.
Watching congress rule and operate feels like watching people with no Indian pride run a country which had lost its identity by the rule of British. I prefer Modi government over any congress formed government any day due the fact that they were running the government by keeping the Indian identity intact and not aping west.
His reputation of ‘integrity’, which did not help him personally during his ten years of the UPA rule, is now being exploited by the scam tainted Congress, as most others are embroiled in one issue or the other.
History has written that Manmohan allowed frauds to take place under his nose and he was just a Yesman for Madam Sonia. No wonder Congress is also kind for him.
Congressman did not belittle him as an economist. He was held very highly as an economist even by P. Chidambaram who was very successful as Finance Minister.
People seem to have forgotten / forgiven the faint Theek Hai. Truly it has been said, when the results are not forthcoming, it is the incumbent, not the opposition, that defeats itself. Ms Tavleen Singh is changing tack in a guarded, hedged sort of way, but her son, Aatish Taseer is far more blunt.
In his last and only few press meet the taciturn Dr.Singh said two things.History will judge him more kindly and second Modi as prime minister will be disaster for India. Both statements being proven correct.

Congress has given importance to Manu as they are afraid of modi but history will never forgive him controlled by Italian family

Really! People haven’t forgotton the series of scams during his tenure. I think it will still ve an issue in 2019.
