There have been many leaders who have led the nation from time to time.
Here I am going to talk about Dr Manmohan Singh
He is our Prime Minister.
Dr Manmohan Singh is the 17th Prime Minister of India.
He assumed office on 22nd May, 2004.
He was preceded by Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee.
He is the first Sikh Prime Minister of India.
He also holds the distinction of being the first Prime Minister who has never been elected to the Lok Sabha.
He hails from a poor farming background.
His father owned a shop selling dry fruits, and the first time he ever wore a tie was for his first job interview.
Manmohan Singh was so determined to get an education he would study at night under streetlights, because there were so many people in the traditional, extended family home.
Dr. Singh, says that he became an economist because he wanted to eradicate poverty.
He studied at Oxford and Cambridge on scholarships.
He wrote his Oxford doctoral thesis on India's export competitiveness.
He later taught at the Delhi School of Economics and became a civil servant where he held a string of high posts.
He is often described as a quiet intellectual with oversized glasses.
He is very honest politician in a country where politics is deeply tainted by corruption.
Manmohan Singh is one of the few Indians who is widely respected as a politician and as an economic reformer by all his peers irrespective of their political affiliations.
He won the 'Honest Man of the Year' award in 1996 for his clean image.
