Nehru failed miserably and his legacy has been carried forward to these days. (3) It is not surprising to see that the dis-illusionment with the above list of 'men' are not surprising as the prime minister is not directly elected by Indian voters and in most of the cases a prime minister candidate is not show-cased by the political parties during election (example, Manmohan sigh...sorry singh). Sandeep, It might be worth-while to list out the Finance ministers (no one knows who they were..) as well, from an academic interest. However, most of the finance ministers prior to Manmohan singh are NOT noteworthy.

MorarJi Bhai Desai - unfortunately due to my oversight - forget to find a mention. well, his personal integrity and energy is unassailable. Ummmm... his was 28 months govt.( correct me if I am wrong), I was too young then, but remember about one scandal involving Jagjiwan Ram's son 'suresh' (:) ) and ABV as foreign Minister had some bold policy initiatives. For some 'weird' reason the period of MorarJi's governance is not in 'public domain', thus can not have a fair judgment on him. But at the same time I see no reason to 'critiques' him for whatever reason BUT for his 'pathetic' choice of Favorite drink ! :) Mercifully, he did not impose his choice on others. Regads, PI. Hey, Sorry Folks….

All the praise accorded to MMS for his 'economic' reforms in 90s, deservingly belongs to PVN Rao. Rather, seeing the MMS and PC's performance in these years,it was PVN Rao who kept a check on these two 'lunatics' lest they mismanaged 'economy' as they have done this time. 2.LBS and ABV: Both at same pedestal for their hard work, personal integrity. Both had 'statesman' like qualities and both deserve a rightful place in the history. 3.Chandershekhar: I personally rate him high but for very small nos and much shorter tenure, this 'erstwhile' young Turk was not 'appreciated' for the potential he had. It is sad, a talented 'statesman' like him was wasted. 4.Rajiv: Would be known as someone who squandered the opportunity, events bestowed on him even if by accident. 5. Indira: Well, Indira had a charisma and she knew it.Tyrant,Unforgiving and brute as she was, these also were her qualities.Perhaps, times - then - demanded that. 6.IKG and DEV Gowda. Charan Singh and G L Nanda: Hahahahah! It gives me some encouragement to try my hands in politics, if these two could become PMs than any tom, dick or harry can.:) Charan Singh, however was an exception,an astute politician with statesman like qualities. But his tenure was too short to make any positive or negative comment.G J Nanda was only a time gap PM, so no comments. Since I had the honor to meet him in person at his one room 'dingy' hole in New Delhi, I know he had a very difficult post retirement life. one who became (technically albeit)PM of India, did deserve some respect at least from Congress Party if not GOI. 7. Nehru:No need to explain why. 8.VP Singh: WEEPY SINGH is the WORST EVER PM India had a misfortune to get.The seeds of 'caste divisions' he sowed borne the poisionus fruits like laloos, Paswans, mulayams etc etc. He stands at the same pedestal as his not so illustrious forefather 'JAICHAND'. Hey, San hope have not gone overboard :) Could not help it, as I hold strong views on all of them and further it is a good initiative so I look forward to keep poking my nose here, frequently .:) Regards.
