While agreeing with KS in general, I would add that Rajiv's decision on improving the communication network through computerisation has contributed a lot to the progress of India.
We must salute Rajiv and Sam Pitroda for their contribution in this area.
20 years down the line, we shall realise if construction of golden quadrangle also was a decision that affected the nation building in a significant way.

I agree with Shyamal, These two events esp the first by Rajiv brought business revolution in India. These 2 events changed the image of India to the world. Now we are one of the fastest growing economy in the world. We salute Rajiv for that.

You are bang on target - the Nehru/Gandhi regimes before him shackled the fundamental entrepreneurial spirit of the Indians and gave us the most expensive steel and cement in the world. IT was discouraged because it "led to unemployment". Rajiv and his first team of professionals changed that.
