    As someone who grew up in India in the 80's and more specifically in a state that had 25% unemployment rate, I deeply appreciate what Prime minister Singh has done for my country. He is the reason many young people like me have decent jobs and a non-corrupt way to provide for our families. The only reason India has experienced explosive growth in the last few years is because of the economic liberalization and economic reforms Mr. Singh introduced in the early 90's. Lot of people denigrate him by calling him a weak leader and stooge of the gandhi's, But I believe when the history of modern India will be written in another 30-40 years, Mr. Singh will be called as the father of modern India.

    Terrific understanding of the political scenario in India! Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is, indeed, what the doctor ordered for an ailing India. He is refreshingly refined, civil and courteous; has a squeaky clean record when it comes to money matters; is an educated, intellectual, wise old man who knows his economic onions. With the clear majority in the recent general elections, the unflinching support of Congress party Supremo, Sonia Gandhi and her coming-of-age son, Rahul Gandhi, the handpicked Cabinet Ministers who are expected to perform or perish, I'm quite certain India has got a winner on its hands. The biggest hurdles for this government are, however, corruption, corruption and corruption! If corruption is plugged, there's little doubt whatsoever that this 'Man' will do wonders for India. I've got my bets on this 'Man'. Kanan Divecha, Mumbai, India

      The Congress was a corrupt political organization. It was the BJP that started righting the ship, Congress, to it's credit , decided to follow suit. Lets be objective. BJP also had unassuming leaders

        I see, mass murder of minorities should have been a part of righting the ship!! Thank God, common Indian Hindu is still a nice guy enough to send the Nazi scum bags of BJP home.
