agree. I remember the days. It was hard for middle class before 1991. It was life of compromise. Today Indian middle class has access to all the products.
Same middle class never voted for Congress in 1996. Had these people voted Congress He would continued for another 10 yrs. Sonia and Rahul wouldn't have come to politics.
now congress is embracing Narasimhan Rao, once "SHE" didn't allow his dead body to enter congress building in Delhi. READ "Half burnt body" chapter in the book "Half Lion: How P.V. Narasimha Rao transformed India"
PVNR was a great Nationalist leader and he was on Right side of spectrum in a left and Socialist party who didn't like Capitalism. Congress now wants to cash his legacy but no one is buying. RaGa was quick to Denounce MMS and UPA II in his campaign but now remembers the good work of Dr. Singh 🙄
Congress men will have to choose between ‘Congress Mukt Bharat’ OR ‘Ghandhi mukt Congress’. PVNR was one of the finest PM, he lead the country during extremely difficult times.
It's Congress tortured him a lot, they even didn't allow his Dead body to take and rejected him vehemently, now crying for him.what a shameless Congress. only Indian PM from southern Part of India. Devegouda is namesake
Rao's mother tongue was Telugu, and he had an excellent command of Marathi. In addition to eight other Indian languages (Hindi, Oriya, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Sanskrit, Tamil and Urdu), he spoke English, French, Arabic, Spanish, German and Persian. He was able to speak 17 languages. He was called the ‘Brihaspati’ (wiseman) of Andhra Pradesh."
Doesn't matter they're respecting him now or not. The fact that stray dogs ate the half burnt body of a PM, CM(AP) of the biggest democracy won't change.
The party which buried the his legacy systematically, giving credit of economic reform to Rajiv Gandhi, gave the credit of implementing it to Manmohan, Rahul took the credit for MGNREGA (predecessor EAS was launched by PVNR). Follower of Mrs Sonia Gandhi split the party to unseat him. Couldn't grant a former PM a state funeral in Delhi. Now the want to celebrate his legacy.... This is comical and a complete farce. But at least his legacy would be celebrated.
That point when he says “a regional party hijacks Narasimha Rao”. Narasimha Rao is Telugu and spent most of his time in the capital of undivided Andhra, Hyderabad. How can Telugu “hijack” a Telugu leader. People forget, but he was the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
The light Of knowledge I understand that. But, you cannot hijack a son of the soil. Hijacking is effectively taking away and controlling something that is not yours. He makes it sound like the Telugus did something criminal. That is just careless use of language.
I think the point SG is making is that congress did not even bother to do it or couldn't care, so KCR, local congress did it, thus the word hijack. This was mentioned in the context of congress not remembering, acknowledging other leaders (except for nehru, indira, rajiv)
Thank you very much Mr.Shekar for your wonderful analysis story of our Ex-PM Sri P.V.Narasimha Rao. His contribution to the Country and the Congress Party is just too immense. His foremost concern on the economic reform was his top priority. Now nobody can deny this, that’s why he was very closely associated with Dr. MM Singhji. At that time some of the top rung Congress leaders may have had their share of differences with him. But just nobody can say or contest that Mr.P.V.N.Rao was in in any way most superior and experienced Politician of their times. He had with him very good knowledge and vision. Unlike his contemporiaries he was very stoical and was patient. He had a mastery over nearly 18 languages both Indian and foreign which no other Indian politician can muster. He was a very rare and unique leader like no one else. The Congress has already lost many of their old and experienced Guards to the BJP. They have just woken up to too late. The present crop of leaders are too egoistic and short sighted. They have no patience or tolerance. The Country needs many more great people like him. Jai Hind !
Narasimha Rao was a polyglot - fluent in so many languages - spoke flawless Hindi...and I learnt as high school boy back then (in the 90s) that he knew Spanish thoroughly.
Yeah since they really don't have such people in BJP. I mean look at the way they try to show that sardar patel and subhas bose share ideology with RSS but the fact is both of them were very much against RSS.
During Narasimha Rao govt had done too good reforms which helped most people like with lot of job opportunities and growth. I never experienced similar growth in so-called recent govts.
I thought I misread the title. Congress has (present tense) never given any credit to PM Narsimharao. PM Vajpayee and PM Narsimharao are India's greatest Prime Ministers.
He was hounded after 1992, His dead body was not allowed inside congress headquarter by Italian Maino. His all references and even his photographs were removed from congress headquarters were removed and now Congress is realising that he was such a great PM. I always, always have a special place in my heart for this great son of the soil.
Shri PV Narasimha Rao and Shri Manmohan Singh are the factors which paved the way for the economic rise of India. If 'the family' had restrained itself from interfering in the Manmohan Singh governments, India wouldn't be facing the situation of today.
Suddenly remembered P.V Narasimha Rao . I have watched his interview many times and every time & I compare with the present politics. I was hearing his economic reforms when I was in high school. That time people used to curse him for all the economic reforms. Today when you go back and check his activities / reforms / the speech you feel the loss for this country, and we are not giving the respect to this great leader. He was working / discussing friendly with Atal Ji , and taken decision based on the country needs, opposition leaders & this country also supported this economic reforms. One thing I have learnt, if you are in bad day or if you are willing to do some good work, just listen the words of PV Narasimha Rao and change your life.
Rao was the true architect of 1991.He was the leader who had the political will and courage to do a massive course correction although he had his whole political journey under indira and her socialist lululand. He stood up to IMF pressure else look how weak imran khan has performed in similar circumstances in pakistan. MMS is too hyped.he was a bureaucrat.no more. First family of congress did all they could to belittle others as they have to show that there is no party without a gora babu or gori memsaab on the throne Now they are desperate as the scions are dull and duffers So they have to do this to show some glory even if old and outside the family. Must be galling to them. viceroys were looking forward to their European holidays and lived here just to collect land revenue .They had no idea of the ethos and culture of India and it's soul Hinduism. Thus they divided and rule. Because they didnt care . Remind you of anyone ? But country has changed Old wine does not work in a new shabby bottle.
Imagine a scenario, Narasimha Rao getting one more term as PM. Further reforms and liberalization would have perhaps seen a quantum jump in economic growth 😟. When will see another Narasimha Rao to usher in a second wave of development? 😫.
I liked Rao as a minister and as PM but he could not win his own seat from Andhra. He contested from a 'safe' seat in Maharastra. Good administrator bur very average politician. When he became PM he was not a MP. He contested for LS from Andhra after becoming PM - the great NTR allowed him to win, so that India got a Telugu PM.
@@chepaukground7608 Sad fact is that even today politics of Andhra and Telangana is caste dominanted and he didn't belong to the politically dominant class. However he raised to the height where the caste politicians could only dream of and that too inspite of all adversaries.
@@saikumarravula I agree it's very sad that politics in the Telugu states is influenced by caste. We should do whatever we can to change it. Our drop in the ocean.

Shekhar Gupta is one of the best journalists who freely and fearless express opinions on current affairs. His comments are based on his vast experience and lot of research. India needs more such journalists to preserve press freedom. Dr Vinod Sethi
Rather than “wake up call” it looks more like a “dead cat bounce”. Congress is in terminal stage and this move shows the panic within the Ghandi family
A party which had 2 seats in 1984 could not be treated as "terminal" then in 1980s . How can you treat Congress which has all India presence? whereas BJP could not even a single MP, such as Kerala, AP, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry. BJP got 37% of total electoral votes and Congress got 19% of total popular votes. which is dead cat bounce, 2 to 303 ? BJP is winning power in state after state, Goa, NorthEast, Bihar, MP, Karnataka speak lot about their democratic values and sensitivities of BJP bakts towards democratic values.
We cannot forget how he was insulted by the dynasty.He was the main architect of "Modern India's.It was he who opened up the economy under very challenging circumstances in spite of opposition from our industrial its.He was a genius who was running a minority govt.You can repeat your own "Walk the talk" programme with Dr. MANMOHAN SINGH IN the lawns of Delhi Scool of Economics.
Thanks for bringing in this piece for P.V. Narsimha Rao. It just tells many believers that transformation is a gradual process and takes co-operation of many people from different walks. I can't imagine any of the current parties nominating a leader of opposition to lead a government contingent. These men had some vission and passion for the country despite having different ideologies. We will never see that progressive India again.
Nicest tribute i have heard about former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao. My maternal family hails from the same district in Telangana as Rao, and we have always felt slighted by the way the Sonia / Vadra Congress Party treated him, especially the disrespectful treatment meted out to him on his dead body and also during the funeral. Thank you Shekharji
Finally, the congress is acknowledging its leaders, I wonder how much of this has come because of you Shekhar, since you’ve been ensuring we don’t forget those whom the congress has forgotten whether it be Rao or Shastri and cut the clutter has followers across the political divide! I’m glad congress is finally doing something, whether it’s too little too late or not let time and actions decide.
In good times, in favourable atmosphere , with all kinds of advantageous situations, every one is a performer. Just consider the antagonistic situation, trouble some states and econmy, it's only Sri PV was efficient enough to run the goverment with minority stake and could achieve so much and transform India which could not be boasted out of proportions
At last due credit is being given to one of the bravest PMs of India, who took over a bankrupt country( almost) and turned it around. A true patriot, selfless, highly intelligent, person.
Congress did not even allow PV Narshima Rao's dead body to enter the Congress Headquater (even after repeated request Sonia did not allow) in Delhi so that Congress workers can pay their last respects and fast forward to today Congress is celebrating Narasimhan Rao-Manmohan Singh's economic legacy. POLITICS IS B*TCH PEOPLE !! (Reference- Half lion - Biography of Rao by Vinay Sitapati)
I felt very happy when Shekhar mentioned about Navodya Vidhyalayas because this scheme/programme was initiated when Shri Rao was education minister (HRD) under Rajiv Gandhi and not Prime minister. This scheme has really benefited the rural students. This scheme has provided a wonderful and rich environment of free education to talented students from rural back-ground . I wish that state governments should also emulate this scheme and establish such schools in each district/ block with the help of central government.

Well narrated Sekhar Gupta Ji ... your walk the talks provides the most precious background and details about the personalities of individuals .You should also do one walk the talk with Narendra Modi in his current reign .
very good analysis . shri p v narsimha rao definitely deserves his right place in history . those who do thoughtful course correction prevent themselves from falling into bigger problems . those who do not do farsighted course correction fall into the traps and pitfalls of history . when they fall into bigger problems they may do atonement to prevent themselves from disaster and catastrophe . those who do not atone at all they pave the way for disasters and catastrophes in course of time. we all see it happening in history repeatedly with individuals and organisations and sometimes in bigger historical cycles with countries also .ultimately karmic debt catches up with every one .
i was having this India today as part of my collections. A suberb example of leadership to embrace opponents for greater success like AB Vajpee and Salman Kurshid. Such a shrewd and talented leader we had.
The dynasty is Desperate - hence finally resurrect PVN whose legacy was deliberately buried by khangress Kalam was always respected by BJP. Patel was dumped by Khangress while always admired by Jana Sangh The did not LOSE them, they burnt their memory and buried them 100 feet deep Just tokenism by khangress Deep respect for KPS Gill 🙏
This is quite an untold story of P V Narasimha Rao . He was truly the architect of economic reforms of 1991 and was humble enough to let a noted economist like Man Mohan Singh to pilot them unlike modern times leaders . He was a linguist and as Parkala Prabhkar wrote recently in an article " Rao learnt to keep quiet in about a dozen languages" An epitome of humility and modesty indeed.
When you are going to lose everything, it's better you give something to your opponent, so that you survive-PVNR, INC has given up somuch that they are gasping for breath
The greatest quote of Narshima Rao is "Not taking a decision is also taking a decision." A PM with Vedic and Upanishad Knowledge . He should be conferred with the Bharath Ratna ....Proud to be from Andhra and Mostly an Indian...
I always admired him for what he did for our economy way back in nineties... Great intellectual and a visionary.. Present Congress doesn't even deserve to own him...
If I am right, Gharibi Hatavo was coined by the then PM Secretary PN Haksar, but the name went Indira Gandhi. It is the Prime Minister who decides. So the credit or blame goes to PM. Am amazed that an acclaimed journalist like Shekar Gupta presentation indicates Manmohan Singh as a reformist. He was Indian PM for if remember right for 10 years, look at record of his efforts in taking reforms forward. I don't know why people like Shekar Gupta shy away candidly saying that PV Narasimha Rao has been the father of Indian reforms. Why pick on meaning things but talk on way in which reforms were brought about by a minority government and what benefits it accrued.
Dear Sir, the only reason I keep watching your reports is PV. Your interview with PV, while you were with NDTV was very engaging. There was a known phrase "who is asking?", depending on the authority on the current affairs of the interviewers matter. I remember, PV saying that you came to interview me, so someone cares for my opinion, voice. Number of times I read and watched that particular piece of work. Am indebted to you for bring such. Thank you.
Congress party's belated embrace of Narshimha Rao is a corrective action of its fault to recognize great men who deserve respect for their invaluable contribution to India. Narshimha Rao was a scholar , achiever extraordinary.
@Parikshit singh In my childhood I used to read the newspaper daily; I read this half-burnt body story, in my adulthood, I can just remember this incident but I can't remember whose body it is, I thought it was K R Narayanan. in the last month I read this book "Half Lion" then I got to know I was PVNR's body bro do you remember after 3-4 days there was a huge Tsunami
@@sudarshan7111 hedgewar effectively participated in congress in 1920s but later changed his way due to some riots in 1923 and also Gandhi ji helping in khilafat movement was perceived as appeasement by hedgewar
There could be various opinions on the contribution of PV. If one looks at the first 65 years of independence - all the ills that we attribute to the Congress could be linked to its brute majority. Whatever said, he singlehandedly helped a strong opposition blossom. A huge milestone for the maturing of democracy!
Mr SG please note no one or group of people can claim credit for the freedom movement there were many unsung heroes who were involved in the freedom struggle so stop this rhetoric that BJP had no freedom movement heroes
Shekhar and his gang of Lutyens have a vile way discrediting our ancestors that we r twiddling our thumbs when only Nehru got it for us . I vehemently condemn him his high handedness of lobbying for Gandhi's the only one got freedom pls don't be a hypocrite without our ppl movement they wouldn't have got this .
Wonderful Shekarji for this news. Also Narasimha Raoji was not able to control the Kashmir violence when the pandits were thrown out. And the Govt.of India choose to ignore or not able to do anything. Though Narasimha Rao was a good leader.

In addition to eight other Indian languages (Hindi, Oriya, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Sanskrit, Tamil and Urdu), he spoke English, French, Arabic, Spanish, German and Persian. He was able to speak 17 languages. He was called the ‘Brihaspati’ (wiseman) of Andhra Pradesh."
Too Little too Late. Unless they banish the Gandhis nothing of this drama will resonate with the public.
Doesn't matter they're respecting him now or not. The fact that stray dogs ate the half burnt body of a PM, CM(AP) of the biggest democracy won't change.
I didn't understand??? What?

The party which buried the his legacy systematically, giving credit of economic reform to Rajiv Gandhi, gave the credit of implementing it to Manmohan, Rahul took the credit for MGNREGA (predecessor EAS was launched by PVNR). Follower of Mrs Sonia Gandhi split the party to unseat him. Couldn't grant a former PM a state funeral in Delhi. Now the want to celebrate his legacy.... This is comical and a complete farce. But at least his legacy would be celebrated.
That point when he says “a regional party hijacks Narasimha Rao”. Narasimha Rao is Telugu and spent most of his time in the capital of undivided Andhra, Hyderabad. How can Telugu “hijack” a Telugu leader. People forget, but he was the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
The light Of knowledge I understand that. But, you cannot hijack a son of the soil. Hijacking is effectively taking away and controlling something that is not yours. He makes it sound like the Telugus did something criminal. That is just careless use of language.
I think the point SG is making is that congress did not even bother to do it or couldn't care, so KCR, local congress did it, thus the word hijack. This was mentioned in the context of congress not remembering, acknowledging other leaders (except for nehru, indira, rajiv)
Excellent. I was close to PVNR and knew him well.
How
Italy Gandhi & factionist leader YSR insulted & humiliated PV .
BJP can still award him Bharat Ratna...and take him away from INC
Thank you very much Mr.Shekar for your wonderful analysis story of our Ex-PM Sri P.V.Narasimha Rao. His contribution to the Country and the Congress Party is just too immense. His foremost concern on the economic reform was his top priority. Now nobody can deny this, that’s why he was very closely associated with Dr. MM Singhji.
At that time some of the top rung Congress leaders may have had their share of differences with him. But just nobody can say or contest that Mr.P.V.N.Rao was in in any way most superior and experienced Politician of their times. He had with him
very good knowledge and vision. Unlike his contemporiaries he was very stoical and was patient. He had a mastery over nearly 18 languages both Indian and foreign which no other Indian politician can muster. He was a very rare and unique leader like no one else.
The Congress has already lost many of their old and experienced Guards to the BJP. They have just woken up to too late. The present crop of leaders are too egoistic and short sighted. They have no patience or tolerance. The Country needs many more great people like him. Jai Hind !
They are scared that Modi will stole the show by conferring on him BHARATRATNA
Narasimha Rao was a polyglot - fluent in so many languages - spoke flawless Hindi...and I learnt as high school boy back then (in the 90s) that he knew Spanish thoroughly.
It's too late for Congress..I won't be surprised if BJP gives him Bharat Ratna even if Congress is trying to claim some of his legacy..
Yeah since they really don't have such people in BJP. I mean look at the way they try to show that sardar patel and subhas bose share ideology with RSS but the fact is both of them were very much against RSS.
@@thedyingwizard4029 That's Politics for You..
@@sahilrapartiwar2428 true well said
During Narasimha Rao govt had done too good reforms which helped most people like with lot of job opportunities and growth. I never experienced similar growth in so-called recent govts.
Responsible for transforming India and Indian People.
I thought I misread the title. Congress has (present tense) never given any credit to PM Narsimharao. PM Vajpayee and PM Narsimharao are India's greatest Prime Ministers.
PVNR is a true Patriot.....!! intellectual & a linguist...!! Kudos to you SGji for highlighting this often forgotten Hero..!!!
'down in the dumps' should now be the new official motto of the congress party
He was hounded after 1992, His dead body was not allowed inside congress headquarter by Italian Maino. His all references and even his photographs were removed from congress headquarters were removed and now Congress is realising that he was such a great PM.
I always, always have a special place in my heart for this great son of the soil.
Off the Cuff with Subramanian swamy, pls!!!!
Shri PV Narasimha Rao and Shri Manmohan Singh are the factors which paved the way for the economic rise of India. If 'the family' had restrained itself from interfering in the Manmohan Singh governments, India wouldn't be facing the situation of today.
Best PM Ever PV Narasimha Rao.
Shame on sonia gandhi for insulting the great person.
Now she is facing her fall along with her children!
Suddenly remembered P.V Narasimha Rao . I have watched his interview many times and every time & I compare with the present politics.
I was hearing his economic reforms when I was in high school. That time people used to curse him for all the economic reforms. Today when you go back and check his activities / reforms / the speech you feel the loss for this country, and we are not giving the respect to this great leader.
He was working / discussing friendly with Atal Ji , and taken decision based on the country needs, opposition leaders & this country also supported this economic reforms.
One thing I have learnt, if you are in bad day or if you are willing to do some good work, just listen the words of PV Narasimha Rao and change your life.
True
Rao was the true architect of 1991.He was the leader who had the political will and courage to do a massive course correction although he had his whole political journey under indira and her socialist lululand. He stood up to IMF pressure else look how weak imran khan has performed in similar circumstances in pakistan.
MMS is too hyped.he was a bureaucrat.no more.
First family of congress did all they could to belittle others as they have to show that there is no party without a gora babu or gori memsaab on the throne
Now they are desperate as the scions are dull and duffers
So they have to do this to show some glory even if old and outside the family.
Must be galling to them.
viceroys were looking forward to their European holidays and lived here just to collect land revenue .They had no idea of the ethos and culture of India and it's soul Hinduism.
Thus they divided and rule. Because they didnt care .
Remind you of anyone ?
But country has changed
Old wine does not work in a new shabby bottle.
Atleast someone did this!
Without any leader worship and with appropriate criticism. Well done SC and print!
Imagine a scenario, Narasimha Rao getting one more term as PM. Further reforms and liberalization would have perhaps seen a quantum jump in economic growth 😟. When will see another Narasimha Rao to usher in a second wave of development? 😫.
I liked Rao as a minister and as PM but he could not win his own seat from Andhra. He contested from a 'safe' seat in Maharastra. Good administrator bur very average politician. When he became PM he was not a MP. He contested for LS from Andhra after becoming PM - the great NTR allowed him to win, so that India got a Telugu PM.
@@chepaukground7608 Sad fact is that even today politics of Andhra and Telangana is caste dominanted and he didn't belong to the politically dominant class. However he raised to the height where the caste politicians could only dream of and that too inspite of all adversaries.
@@saikumarravula I agree it's very sad that politics in the Telugu states is influenced by caste. We should do whatever we can to change it. Our drop in the ocean.
@@saikumarravula Agree with your observations. I will add Tamil Nadu to this list. Don't get me wrong - PM Rao was a very competent person; the best Congress PM since Nehru.
Shekhar Gupta is one of the best journalists who freely and fearless express opinions on current affairs. His comments are based on his vast experience and lot of research. India needs more such journalists to preserve press freedom.
Dr Vinod Sethi
Subramaniam Swamy's acknowledgement is long due. Good to know
Dr. PVNR was the right man who led nation in worst time.
A visionary who showed india the right path.
Another pantheon of the Congress Party whom they don't acknowledge or give any credit is Dr. B.C. Roy.
I was too thinking of that
Salute to Narsimha Rao Manmohan Singh duo..
Wakeup call to Congress and your analysis is really wonderful..
Rather than “wake up call” it looks more like a “dead cat bounce”. Congress is in terminal stage and this move shows the panic within the Ghandi family
A party which had 2 seats in 1984 could not be treated as "terminal" then in 1980s . How can you treat Congress which has all India presence? whereas BJP could not even a single MP, such as Kerala, AP, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry. BJP got 37% of total electoral votes and Congress got 19% of total popular votes. which is dead cat bounce, 2 to 303 ? BJP is winning power in state after state, Goa, NorthEast, Bihar, MP, Karnataka speak lot about their democratic values and sensitivities of BJP bakts towards democratic values.
We cannot forget how he was insulted by the dynasty.He was the main architect of "Modern India's.It was he who opened up the economy under very challenging circumstances in spite of opposition from our industrial its.He was a genius who was running a minority govt.You can repeat your own "Walk the talk" programme with Dr. MANMOHAN SINGH IN the lawns of Delhi Scool of Economics.
It is an insult to PVN Rao when these fake Gandhis take his name.
Yes ,well said , look at the fate , Shri Rao had to be praised by this lady...
PVN Rao was a good PM. But PVN Rao was involved in the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. This fact should not be hidden.

Thanks for bringing in this piece for P.V. Narsimha Rao. It just tells many believers that transformation is a gradual process and takes co-operation of many people from different walks. I can't imagine any of the current parties nominating a leader of opposition to lead a government contingent. These men had some vission and passion for the country despite having different ideologies. We will never see that progressive India again.
Off the cuff with Subramanian Swamy please
👌👌👌
I don't think SG will ever do that.
Nicest tribute i have heard about former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao. My maternal family hails from the same district in Telangana as Rao, and we have always felt slighted by the way the Sonia / Vadra Congress Party treated him, especially the disrespectful treatment meted out to him on his dead body and also during the funeral. Thank you Shekharji

Finally, the congress is acknowledging its leaders, I wonder how much of this has come because of you Shekhar, since you’ve been ensuring we don’t forget those whom the congress has forgotten whether it be Rao or Shastri and cut the clutter has followers across the political divide! I’m glad congress is finally doing something, whether it’s too little too late or not let time and actions decide.
Shekhar ji - who do you think is the greatest Indian PM yet? I guess it’s Narsimha Rao
In good times, in favourable atmosphere , with all kinds of advantageous situations, every one is a performer.
Just consider the antagonistic situation, trouble some states and econmy, it's only Sri PV was efficient enough to run the goverment with minority stake and could achieve so much and transform India which could not be boasted out of proportions
As a former student of Navodaya Vidyalaya, I want to thank Narasimhan Rao for coming up with the idea. Never knew Navodaya's was his idea.
Loved your comment"politics is not dharam karam"
At last due credit is being given to one of the bravest PMs of India, who took over a bankrupt country( almost) and turned it around. A true patriot, selfless, highly intelligent, person.
Congress did not even allow PV Narshima Rao's dead body to enter the Congress Headquater (even after repeated request Sonia did not allow) in Delhi so that Congress workers can pay their last respects and fast forward to today Congress is celebrating Narasimhan Rao-Manmohan Singh's economic legacy. POLITICS IS B*TCH PEOPLE !! (Reference- Half lion - Biography of Rao by Vinay Sitapati)
I felt very happy when Shekhar mentioned about Navodya Vidhyalayas because this scheme/programme was initiated when Shri Rao was education minister (HRD) under Rajiv Gandhi and not Prime minister. This scheme has really benefited the rural students. This scheme has provided a wonderful and rich environment of free education to talented students from rural back-ground . I wish that state governments should also emulate this scheme and establish such schools in each district/ block with the help of central government.
Apj kalam was a true unconditional muslim nationalist, you can't find gems like him today, he truly belonged to bjp

He belonged to India. He never joinined BJP.

Just for your knowledge there were two different muslims who died that year almost at the same time and there was hardly any muslim mob present during the burial of kamal sir and on otherside whole street of Mumbai was filled for the burial of other one who was a terrorist , this shows what is wrong with Indian muslims or Muslims in general
Well narrated Sekhar Gupta Ji ... your walk the talks provides the most precious background and details about the personalities of individuals .You should also do one walk the talk with Narendra Modi in his current reign .
I love how SG keeps promoting Walk The Talk series in every other CTC episode. Nostalgia 🤣
very good analysis . shri p v narsimha rao definitely deserves his right place in history . those who do thoughtful course correction prevent themselves from falling into bigger problems . those who do not do farsighted course correction fall into the traps and pitfalls of history . when they fall into bigger problems they may do atonement to prevent themselves from disaster and catastrophe . those who do not atone at all they pave the way for disasters and catastrophes in course of time. we all see it happening in history repeatedly with individuals and organisations and sometimes in bigger historical cycles with countries also .ultimately karmic debt catches up with every one .
Subramanyam swami should be made finance minister in order to save the economy.
i was having this India today as part of my collections. A suberb example of leadership to embrace opponents for greater success like AB Vajpee and Salman Kurshid.
Such a shrewd and talented leader we had.
Sonia should be ashamed, hypocrites, didn't even allow his body to be in the congress office in Delhi
People of india knows u well Antonia maino
No one can b made personal responsibility for political missteps, only bcz a political party can never be a one man show
A true picture of events embracing Mr N.Rao as a vocal point on economic policy of India. The Southern PM a great contribution to India.
The dynasty is Desperate - hence finally resurrect PVN whose legacy was deliberately buried by khangress
Kalam was always respected by BJP. Patel was dumped by Khangress while always admired by Jana Sangh
The did not LOSE them, they burnt their memory and buried them 100 feet deep
Just tokenism by khangress
Deep respect for KPS Gill 🙏
This is quite an untold story of P V Narasimha Rao . He was truly the architect of economic reforms of 1991 and was humble enough to let a noted economist like Man Mohan Singh to pilot them unlike modern times leaders . He was a linguist and as Parkala Prabhkar wrote recently in an article " Rao learnt to keep quiet in about a dozen languages"
An epitome of humility and modesty indeed.
When you are going to lose everything, it's better you give something to your opponent, so that you survive-PVNR, INC has given up somuch that they are gasping for breath
The greatest quote of Narshima Rao is "Not taking a decision is also taking a decision." A PM with Vedic and Upanishad Knowledge . He should be conferred with the Bharath Ratna ....Proud to be from Andhra and Mostly an Indian...
Good at least congress admitting thier mistake, correcting it...
I always admired him for what he did for our economy way back in nineties... Great intellectual and a visionary.. Present Congress doesn't even deserve to own him...
Congress today remembers Narasimha Rao because BJP never forgot him
Wonderful information about late Prime Minister Narsimha Rao.
The only way my vote will go to congress is when I see the end of the Nehru dynasty.
If I am right, Gharibi Hatavo was coined by the then PM Secretary PN Haksar, but the name went Indira Gandhi. It is the Prime Minister who decides. So the credit or blame goes to PM. Am amazed that an acclaimed journalist like Shekar Gupta presentation indicates Manmohan Singh as a reformist. He was Indian PM for if remember right for 10 years, look at record of his efforts in taking reforms forward. I don't know why people like Shekar Gupta shy away candidly saying that PV Narasimha Rao has been the father of Indian reforms. Why pick on meaning things but talk on way in which reforms were brought about by a minority government and what benefits it accrued.
Some learned people had told me that Rao allowed to mmsingh to flourish
Dear Sir, the only reason I keep watching your reports is PV. Your interview with PV, while you were with NDTV was very engaging. There was a known phrase "who is asking?", depending on the authority on the current affairs of the interviewers matter. I remember, PV saying that you came to interview me, so someone cares for my opinion, voice. Number of times I read and watched that particular piece of work. Am indebted to you for bring such. Thank you.
Congress has no hope until the Gandhi’s are kicked out.
Congress party's belated embrace of Narshimha Rao is a corrective action of its fault to recognize great men who deserve respect for their invaluable contribution to India. Narshimha Rao was a scholar , achiever extraordinary.
Sir Why do you leave out Kamaraj ?He was an great leader
Right move in right time Gupta Ji. I love your moving away from Gandhi dynasty. Age brings wisdom 👍👍👍😀😀😀

Can there be English subtitles whenever Hindi is spoken. I don"t understand Hindi!
There could be various opinions on the contribution of PV. If one looks at the first 65 years of independence - all the ills that we attribute to the Congress could be linked to its brute majority. Whatever said, he singlehandedly helped a strong opposition blossom. A huge milestone for the maturing of democracy!
Nuclear weapons testing require big big political will and that was showed by Atal ji.

it is a fact it had none, nothing rhetorical in it

I vehemently condemn him his high handedness of lobbying for Gandhi's the only one got freedom pls don't be a hypocrite without our ppl movement they wouldn't have got this .
Wonderful Shekarji for this news. Also Narasimha Raoji was not able to control the Kashmir violence when the pandits were thrown out. And the Govt.of India choose to ignore or not able to do anything. Though Narasimha Rao was a good leader.
The title says "Narshimhan" Rao. Please change it.
