ParmQ Posted December 18, 2014 Report Posted December 18, 2014 bl@st bl@st Good post. The great soul! I read in some article written by another great soul APJ Kalam. He was in Tirupati after the elections are over or when the results were announced. He knew that he is going to be defeated. Vajpayee formed the Govt. He took the APJ Kalam to Vajpayee and introduced him to Vajpayee and explained him about the necessity of nuclear tests and how Kalam is going to execute. The rest is history. India lo antha goppa statesman inka raaru vayya. He brought India out of the most difficult times.

sattipandu Posted December 18, 2014 Report Posted December 18, 2014 P.V. Narasimha Rao was fluent in 16 languages. In addition to 7 Indian languages (Telugu, Hindi, Urdu, Oriya, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil), he spoke English, French, Arabic, Spanish, German, Greek, Latin and Persian. He was well versed with subjects related to economics, law, history, politics & arts. he was rightly called the scholar among politicians. He was deeply respected among his intellectual circles. Probably the most under-rated leader, P.V.Narasimha Rao can be considered as one of the makers of modern India. If India has managed to shed it’s image of snake charmers and turned into a major IT hub and a promising economic superpower in the making, a significant part of the credit for this transformation must go to PV due to his bold economic reforms. PV rose up the political ladder and by the early 1970s, he was identified by Indira Gandhi for his political acumen and was requested to carry out the land reform act in which fuedal landlords were convinced/compelled/forced to distribute their holdings to landless peasants. During the process, PV gave up most of his own inherited estate as well. After the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 Sonia Gandhi was suggested to become the party chief in a high level party meeting. PV, a staunch believer in merit, shot back saying: “Why should the Congress party be hitched to the Nehru-Gandhi family like train compartments to the engine?“. Seniors could not defend their stand of why only a Nehru-Gandhi family member had to be made the party chief when there were already seasoned veterans like PV. After Congress won the elections in 1991, PV was made the Prime Minister and it was a paradigm shift because he was the first person outside the Nehru-Gandhi family to serve as PM for full 5 years. Having said that, the year 1991 was the worst year (since independence) for anybody to assume PM office. The collapse of Soviet Union had great repercussions across the world and India being a socialist economy was severely affected. Nehru’s economic model which was oriented towards Licence Raj, red tape & bureaucracy leading to large scale corruption had resulted in 2-3% annual growth (which was mocked as “Hindu rate of growth” by economists) and the subsequent protection of such model by Indira Gandhi had led the nation into darkness and economic standstill. In fact, when PV became the PM, the nation was on the verge of bankruptcy. Due to high fiscal deficit as a result of closed economy for 4 decades, higher defence expenditure, unnecessary subsidies (mainly for vote bank politics), rising debt payments and other factors, India began to rely on external funds which led to a cycle of vicious borrowing from foreign banks. In 1991, all hell broke loose and India had run out of forex i.e When PV became the PM, India was in a pathetic condition where it could sustain only for 15 days after which it had to declare bankruptcy.India had to airlift it’s 47 tonnes of Gold reserves as a pledge to IMF for a loan which had led to Indians hanging their heads in shame!! Serious & bold measures had to be taken up and the solution was to open up the economy which was against the ideology of the Congress party which had always adored Nehruvian economy and central planning. PV was in a fix because on one side, if he wanted to keep his party happy, he had to allow the economy to collapse and on the other hand, if he took up steps to revive the economy, he would face the wrath of his party. Fortunately, he chose the latter and to the shock of the Congress stalwarts, he initiated reforms. Dr. Manmohan Singh, a renowned economic professor was invited by PV to form a committee to formulate reforms in the best interest of the nation. Complete freedom & support was given to Dr. Manmohan’s team and PV shielded the team from Congress party so that they could do their jobs effectively. Within few months, the measures began to bore fruits and the economy began to recover. A significant part of the public sector was privatized, license raj was abolished leading to entrepreneurship & competition, state control & red tape was reduced and policies on foreign investments were modified to allow for more investments. These measures & reforms were broadly termed “Economic liberalisation of India” and one of the major side effect of it has been the IT revolution which led to India becoming the Knowledge hub of the world. In a way, these measures helped curb the brain drain because graduates who were leaving India due to lack of opportunities began to reconsider their options because of the in-house IT, BT & BPO revolutions and most of them stayed back in India and some of them who had fled to US & Europe returned to India (Reverse brain drain). Entrepreneurship took off in India. The world began to take notice of India for it’s high economic growth and IT sector which have been featured on cover pages of TIME magazine as well. All the above mentioned positive outcomes would not have been possible if not for the bold measures taken by PV who cared for the nation and not for his party. Due to these reasons, his own party has been ignoring and degrading him and even today does not want to give him the credit for his bold steps. Looking back in hindsight, one can say that India achieved political independence in 1947 but had to wait till 1991 for economic independence. If Mahatma Gandhi can be called the architect of India of 20th century, P. V. Narasimha Rao can be called the architect of Modern India of the 21st century. We need leaders like PV who can put the interest of nation above party’s interests.

alpachinao Posted December 18, 2014 Report Posted December 18, 2014 Good job done by PV for India always have respect to him
zzeb Posted December 18, 2014 Report Posted December 18, 2014 Great post. Most underrated PM in India in modern times. Congress leadership cannot accept the fact that some one outside of the Gandhi-Nehru clan like PVR could be so dynamic and independent. I read somwwhere that his funeral services were also not held in Delhi, and his body was not allowed in the AICC(congress) building. The irony is it was PVNR who was the architect of the economic reforms on the 90's.
mitayi Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 Great Leader...he deserves bharatha ratna...
