Manmohan Singh (Punjabi: ਮਨਮੋਹਨ ਸਿੰਘ, Hindi मनमोहन सिंह; born 26 September 1932) is the 17th and current Prime Minister of the Republic of India. He also serves as the Union Minister for Finance, succeeding P. Chidambaram.[1] He was the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India from 1982 to 1985 and held the post of the Finance Minister of India from 1991 to 1996 under Narsimha Rao-led government. Singh belongs to the Indian National Congress party and took oath as the Prime Minister of India on May 22, 2004, becoming the first person of Sikh faith to hold the post.


An economist by profession, Singh has previously worked at organizations like the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations. During his tenure as the Finance Minister, he was widely credited for initiating economic reforms in India in 1991 which resulted in the end of the infamous Licence Raj system


Manmohan Singh was born on 26 September 1932, in Gah, Punjab (now in Chakwal District, Pakistan). After the India-Pakistan Partition, he migrated to Amritsar. He then went to Panjab University to study Economics and attained his bachelor's and master's degree in 1952 and 1954 respectively, standing first throughout his academic career. He went on to get a master's degree from St. John's College, Cambridge University, where he won the Wright's Prize for distinguished performance in 1955 and 1957. He was also one of the few recipients of the Wrenbury scholarship. In 1962, Singh completed his D.Phil from the University of Oxford Nuffield College. The topic of his doctorate thesis was "India’s Export Trends and Prospects for Self-Sustained Growth".[3]


In 1997, the University of Alberta presented him with an Honorary Doctor of Laws. The University of Oxford awarded him an honorary Doctor of Civil Law degree in June 2005, and in October 2006, the University of Cambridge followed with the same honor. St John's College and the University of Cambridge further honored him by naming a PhD Scholarship after him, the Dr Manmohan Singh Scholarship.


Singh married Gursharan Kaur in 1958, and they have three daughters. His eldest daughter, Upinder Singh, is a professor of history at St. Stephen's College.[22] His youngest daughter, Amrit Singh, is a staff attorney at American Civil Liberties Union[23] and is married to Barton Beebe, an Associate Professor of Law who specializes in intellectual property law.


PERSONAL LIFE


Manmohan Singh has a history of heart ailment and underwent coronary bypass surgery in 1990 and angioplasty in 2004. Singh also underwent a second bypass surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on January 24, 2009, in which doctors replaced three older grafts. A team of doctors led by surgeon Ramakant Panda and assisted by AIIMS doctors successfully performed a redo (repeat) bypass.[24] Mr.Singh is now recovering and will soon assume his office.

I agree buzz... But we always feature them to be dumb and make so much fun of.. And to think here is a man who has proved all wrong..


Anyway.. I dont say I dont joke or enjoy these jokes, but do remember its only a joke when in reality it doesnt need to be targetted at them with such brilliance in motion around.


and about that PM post contesting.. carry on buzz.. Who knows you may garner more and more lines to your resume .. (ask your son to write it --- I am sure he can think of words that we all would never understand) and yes, you have all the votes from us ...
