Personalities - P V Narasimha Rao


If Gandhi is the father of nation, then we can say P V Narasimha Rao as "father of Indian Economy Reforms". And today whatever we have achieved, except the work done by the great institutes like ISRO and DRDO, the total credit for the growth of industrialization and economy must be creditied to Mr. Rao. He reduced the fiscal deficit, Privatization of public sector units (though i believe few things like transportation, medical, education, mining, fuel, current, dams etc must be in the hands of government), trade reforms, loans and many more.
He was the 12th Prime Minister of India and an active freedom fighter. He won election from Nandyal with a victory margin of a five lakh votes and his win is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. Only not a politician, he is a scholar by himself. He is well educated and has command over 17 languages.
Few things I learned from him are:
1. Patience always pays.
2. Our Silence can be used to solve many problems.
3. Taking no action is also an action.
4. Always think about the long term goals even losing some short term gains.
5. For being strong, u don't need to shout
Many great people have in them good and bad. Though Mr.Rao faced lot of problems during the last years of his life, I consider him as the " CHANAKYA of our Times".
