Manmohan Singh

Manmohan Singh is a politician and the former (13th) Prime Minister of India. Born into a Punjabi family on September 26, 1932, Singh is the first Sikh to hold the office and the only PM after Jawaharlal Nehru to return to power after completing a full five-year term.

He an active member of the Indian National Congress and took oath as the PM on May 22, 2004.

Singh is considered to be one of the prime animators behind the 1991 economic revolution. Back then, when India faced economic crisis the then Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao surprisingly brought in apolitical Singh into his cabinet as Finance Minister. Despite people raising questions over his entry, Singh managed to introduce some significant structural reforms that liberalised India's economy.

He played a key-role in the signing of the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal in 2008.

Though he is considered to be one of the most honest Indian politicians, the 2G scam and Commonwealth Games scams in particular did tarnish Singh’s image.

Singh is married to Gursharan Kaur and has three daughters.
