Honestly speaking I am not sure about Rajiv Gandhi's telecom and Computer revolution without liberalising economy and giving away the license raj. Allowing some IT companies didn't make much change to the life of India. To me, it was more like a blind stroke. It only created more body shoopers in the country. When DOTCOM was burst, suddenly many companies found themselves nowhere. The real master stroke was economic liberalisation. This allowed MNCs to pump money in India. They wanted to save money using cheaper labour and there was an IT revolution in India. IT revolution is still in phase 1. India's IT contribution is still insignifican although it is a BPO king. I think Rajiv Gandhi was the worst political leader in India. He won with record breaking (3/4th) majority. If he was as strong as her mother he could have rewritten the history. He talked about vision, but there were no strong steps. With no opposition, he could have kicked economy with massive infrastructure projects like what China is in last decade. He unnecessarily provoked Hindus by turning SC orders in Shahabano case and then tried to woe Hindus by opening Ram Mandir. He had little clue that he was opening Pandora's box. As a whole I consider him as a complete failure.
