Wonderful Info. Thanx for sharing Ravi.

Perfect reason for every Indian to put up our collar... Gr8 info..

Thanks for Sharing

awsome guy he is 

i m proud of shri manmohan singh and PC chidambaram ( as a finance minister )

Dear ravi

 

P chimadram is now home minister not finance Minister just want to correct you.

Academic qualification does not guarantee the success of a person as a leader, To lead a country measuring criterias are different for success.

Just imagine A Professor is leading an Army Brigade. A country Leader should be visionary , versatile , daring in his work and approach.

Some time such high qualifiation become negative point in performance a job.

But such high achievement in academic field need to be applauded but not such thing as a great prime minister.

really the information which every indian needs to know

thanks a lot for sharing

hey mr argumentative indian 

why dont u look at the country's performance under the leadership of both two people referred above

i also said I m proud for as an Indian for Pc chidambaram as wat he did as a finance minister only 

and regarding the correlation between academic qualification and succes in real life 

i should tell u to see the history of indian reforms and tax collections after shri Manmohan singh( the most educated and intelligent economist pm of india ) hold the position of finance minister in 1991

 

U knw wat was the state of economy when Shri manmohan singh appointed as a FM IN 1991 ??

RECESSION , UNEMPLOYMEN , GDP GROWTH MERE 3% , NEGATIVE FOREX TO THE EXTENT OF $ 50 BILLION , SMUGLLING , NO FDI , NO FUNDS , NO INFRASTRUCTURE

 

THROUGH his pragmatic view and amendments in law wat he did in single year  ???

in 1992 i.e just after one year after his deputation as a finance minister Forex reserves of indian went to 20$ in positive 

it is wat nobody expeceted

and it happened due to the NEW INDUSTRIAL POLICY 1991

HE is so educated and applied all the economic concepts in india which in turn brough great success

His highness Shri manmohan singh pragmatic view !!!! 

u knw today's tax collection's 50% comes from service sector 

and shri manmohan singh was the one who brought the tax on services concept in 1994 finance bill

and still after a dissapponting BHARAT BAND on hike in prices of petrol due the handling the prices of liquid gold ( petrolium products ) to the market 

iam ready to bet that this will help the people of india in long run 

wont beleive ???

wait for some months ! i will be proved!!

rest regarding PC Chidambaram ! it is unfortunate to see him failing to control naxal issue 

but as a finance minister he did a very excellent job

in his tenure do u knw wat he did ???

the collections of indian corporate tax increased by 300% by just one amendment in income tax law

his Dream budget 1997

the budget in his he explained his dreams from india ( like having petrolium extraction within india , telecommunication services expansion )

the oposition made fun of his budget

and if u knw the currecnt affairs

the RELIANCE HAS started extraction oil from KAVERI GAS BASIN ( KG BASIN ) UNDER THE NELP POLICY brought by pc chidambaram 

 

well dude iam not supporting the congress here

im just supporting the great diamonds of india due to which we can say we are being a country on the rapid fast tracks of development front 

 

Regards 

nice1 thanks 4 sharing

Rightly said

 

Every educated man is impotent

So high is the qualification of our prime minister that

It is foolish to expect from him "

To take action against Pakistan  but he is focussing on giving him aid of 250 crores and pakistan is not accepting it.

To take action against commonwealth dishonest people, they are their own party men from top to bottom

To take action against Kashmiri extreamist, let common kashmiri suffer and army men die

List will carry on

As a student one should appreciate his academic qualifitcation  only not more than that

Academic qualification does not guarantee persons intelligence in real life.

A book worm can earn many degrees but when in field he can give a competition to a mouse.

one more thing NARSIMHA RAO is real candidate of inida's economic reforms.if not agree

read Rajiv Gandhi's new light then view on manmohan singh then head of planning commission

last thing

Major chunk of revenue comes from excise not from service sector it generate employment but not major share in taxes

i think so but not sure.

We have a habit of idolatory in our blood, woship him along with gandhis.

Regards
