  Commanding Heights : Manmohan Singh | on PBS
MANMOHAN SINGH: Let me say that I think the economic history of the last 150 years clearly shows that if you want to industrialize a country in a short period, let us say 20 years, and you don't have a well-developed private sector, entrepreneurial class, [then central planning is important].

MANMOHAN SINGH: We removed a large number of controls and regulations, which in the past had stifled the spirit of innovation, the spirit of entrepreneurship, and restricted the scope for competition, both internal competition and external competition.

Manmohan Singh (Gurmukhi: ਮਨਮੋਹਨ ਸਿੰਘ, Devanagari: मनमोहन सिंह) is the fourteenth, and current, Prime Minister of India.
A rather low-key politician, Manmohan Singh enjoys a "squeaky clean" image and was advisor to opposition chief Sonia Gandhi throughout the election campaign in 2004 and their time in the opposition.
Singh served as the governor of the Reserve Bank of India in the late 1980s, and was elevated to finance minister in 1991 by Prime Minister Narasimha Rao, who was aware of an acute economic crisis due to decades of stagnant socialist policies.

 The Seoul Times
Singh unexpectedly became the Prime Minister in 2004 after Sonia Gandhi decided not to step in, choosing instead to remain the president of the Congress Party.
Although Singh's record as a reformer is beyond doubt, in fact, unimpeachable, his performance, along with his equally able Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, is not up to expectation.
In all fairness to Singh, it must be said here that the blame for this slow or absence of reforms must be laid on his coalition partners, who have virtually tied his hands by insisting and getting through a common minimum programme.

 The 2005 TIME 100: Manmohan Singh
If the answer to all those questions is yes (as seems plausible enough), that says something not only about the nature of India but also about Manmohan Singh's deep humanity and breadth of vision, which inspire widespread confidence.
As Finance Minister in the early- to mid-'90s, Singh, 72, was the pioneering leader of India's economic reforms, which restrained the all-powerful Indian bureaucrat, and sought—and found—a significant place for India in the global economy.
And yet, given the asymmetric sharing of the fruits of expansion, the subsequent government's proud but insensitive slogan, "India shining," was a peculiarly divisive theme.
