well said bhaskaran ji. singh is a media myth, at least so far as honesty goes. lying comes quite easy to him actually if you observe him a little closer. but that should be no surprise given his party's sordid character and history. he can not stand in the same room with kalam. further, mm singh was no architect of 1991 reforms - another media myth. the decision to liberalize the economy wasn't an academic one of the kind a powerless economic professor singh can make; the decision was a momentous one that only a pm with a real power and real political will can make, given the state of the mind of the country then, and that person was narsimha rao who too could only justify it just because thre was no other option when the largest creditors like the imf and the world bank were breathing down goi's neck.
