Manmohan Singh

Dr. Manmohan Singh, as Prime Minister, is a study in contrast to his successor. Dr. Singh never used vituperative language against political opponents and was civil and graceful in all his interventions in Parliament.

He addressed press conferences at regular intervals, where he was willing to face inconvenient questions. Above all, he was a true democrat with an absolute commitment to secularism and inclusiveness. He was indeed a sterling example of what a Prime Minister in a democratic country should be like.

Ever alive in the hearts of all Indians, the political class must note that Dr. Manmohan Singh does not need a memorial at all. He has etched his name in the minds and the hearts of the people with his statesmanship, non-political nature, kindness, constructive work and implementation of various welfare measures and economic reforms. The blame games, mudslinging and slugfests can end.

Jimmy Carter

The year 2024 has witnessed the departure of many towering figures who have shaped the world. The former President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, is one such leader. In a world engulfed in crises, revisiting Carter’s leadership and legacy offers invaluable lessons for contemporary global leaders.
