Dr. Manmohan Singh

Prime Minister of India

Dr. Manmohan Singh was born on 26 September, 1932, in Gah, West Punjab (now in Pakistan) to Mr. Gurmukh Singh and Mrs. Gursharan Kaur

EDUCATION:  
 
He completed his BA (Hons) in Economics from Punjab University, Chandigarh in 1952. He completed his MA (Economics) in the same Punjab University, Chandigarh. In 1954 he received the Wright’s Prize for distinguished performance at St John's College, Cambridge. In 1955 and 1957 he was a Wrenbury scholar at the University of Cambridge. In 1957 completed his DPhil (Oxford), DLitt (Honoris Causa) and PhD thesis on India's export competitiveness. 

Dr. Manmohan Singh, Economic professor by profession, took many titles like Economic Advisor for Ministry of Foreign Trade, Chief Economic Advisor, Director Reserve Bank of India etc. Also he has served in International Monitory Fund (IMF).

As Finance Minister:

Dr. Manmohan Singh ’s interest & primary profession of Economics was a great asset. Dr Manmohan Singh is best known as the "liberator" of Indian economy, and in 1991 - 1996 in Narashima Rao's government, he was made the Finance Minister. When Dr. Manmohan Singh presented his budget in 1991, the country had an unsustainable fiscal deficit of close to 8.5 per cent of the gross domestic product, which is double of what it is currently. In a sentence we can say, India was about to be bankrupt.

Dr. Singh’s meticulous planning made India a great nation and he is rightly called as the Father of India Reforms.

One of the clean Handed politician in India, had lost in 1999, to  VIJAY KUMAR MALHOTRA of BJP, while centesting from South Delhi.

Dr. Manmohan Singh once told an interviewer that he was "very surprised" when he was invited to become the finance minister by PV Narasimha Rao.

After the Congress was voted out of power, Dr.Singh kept a rather low profile, though he was the leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha. Always a quiet, unassuming personality, out of the spotlight Singh faded into the background.

As a Union Finance Minister, his liberalisation policy took India on the path of globalisation, which is now continued by P Chidambaram, the Current Finance Minister of India.

Karti Chidambaram

Karti Chidambaram, son of P Chidambaram the Finance Minister of India is a vivid person and a successful businessman. Unlike other politicians, Palaniappan Chidambaram, the finance Minister came from a well knowm family (Karaikudi chettiyars) and so Karti Chidambaram the heir is having the emphasis wherever he goes!!  Family Genealogy.

Karti Chidambaram did his schoolings in Don Bosco, Madras. and he went to Austin (University of Texas), where he completed his Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. And later he jumped to England to get a degree in Law from Cambridge University.

Besides his busy schedule Karthik Chidambaram, plays Tennis daily & has won many tournaments. And I believe that is a very good cricketer too. Coming from a good business minded family, Karti Chidambaram runs his own business like Chess Management Service, a legal advisory firm and a website called Myvakil.com and many more.

Sometime back, he started a website called Karuthu.com & Sujatha, the well known writer, officially inaugurated the website in which any one can express their views on any topic.

"Karti was campaign manager for his father who fought and won the parliamentary seat of Sivaganga in Tamil Nadu this May.Despite being out of electoral politics for several years, Chidambaram senior won from this constituency convincingly.Karti's bright ideas led to a well-conducted campaign with audio-visual techniques, through which people got to hear tapes of favourite songs, both old and the latest, mixed pleasantly with campaign messages", from OnlyPunjab.com

Like his father, P Chidambaram, Karti is also interested in Politics from his twenties. He describes himself as an active Congress worker and he was cited by many medias' for his movement with all types of workers in the party as well as with the public. Karti Chidambaram is expected to get some posts in the TamilNadu Congress Committee(TNCC) soon.

Karti on his father, P Chidambaram

Karti Palaniappan Chidambaram is fast talking, quick thinking and wants passionately to change India. In that he's his father's son, the Chidambarams' only child.

Karti s' sense of humour is all his own. He's clearly been brought up as a distinct personality and does not shy away from differing from his father, so the senior Chidambaram has got that right!

"He" is the finance minister.

Is he a strict or a lenient father?

He is very strict but has always given me tremendous freedom and leeway.

He said once that he has never and would never raise his hand at his child.

That is absolutely true, he has never raised his hand... Read More in Rediff
