	P. V. Narasimha Rao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rao served brief stints in the cabinet (1962 - 1971) and chief ministries (1971 - 1973) for the state of Andhra Pradesh.
		Narasimha Rao became Prime Minister when the nation's economy was on the verge of collapse due to low foreign exchange reserves, and a stagnant, quasi-socialist economy riddled with mismanagement.
		Rao suffered a heart attack on December 8, 2004 and was sent to the All India Institute for Medical Sciences, where he died 15 days later at 2:10 PM at the age of 83.

	P.V. Narasimha Rao; launched economic revolution in India; 83 \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Rao died of cardiac arrest yesterday at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences hospital, where he was admitted Dec. 9 after complaining of shortness of breath, said Chetan Sharma, his aide.
		Rao was a lifelong loyalist of the Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty, which produced India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, his daughter Indira Gandhi and her son Rajiv Gandhi, both of whom became prime minister.
		Rao's tenure was marred by the destruction of the Babri mosque in 1992 in the northern town of Ayodhya by mobs of Hindu nationalists instigated by the opposition.

	Telegraph \| News \| PV Narasimha Rao (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		PV Narasimha Rao, who died yesterday aged 83, was the prime minister of India between 1991 and 1996; during his premiership he took the considerable risk of lifting trade barriers and opening an over-protected country to the global economy.
		What brought Rao back from the political wilderness was the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, who had been in power, lost it and was apparently on his way back to the prime minister's job when he was blown up by a female Tamil suicide-bomber in the middle of an election campaign.
		Throughout his career, Rao was a loyal supporter of Indira Gandhi; he backed her after the Congress Party split into rival factions in 1969, and also when she imposed what became a two-year "state of emergency" in 1975.

	P. V. Narasimha Rao :: Indian Leader
		P V Narasimha Rao was perhaps the most unlikely and unexpected figure to have influenced the course of India's foreign and security policies because, for the first 40 years of his political career, he was not a known figure in the Congress Party circle discussions on these subjects.
		Rao had the difficult task of reconciling India's reservations about the Soviet Union invading Afghanistan, and the need to sustain a meaningful working relationship with the Soviet Union, on which India was enormously dependent for defence supplies and in economic terms.
		Rao's advice was an important input, leading to Rajiv Gandhi's five-nation initiative on disarmament, and his important proposals for disarmament submitted at the special session of the UN General Assembly in 1988-89.

		Rao, a lawyer and scholar, served as a minister and as chief minister of Andhra Pradesh before being elected to the Indian Parliament in 1972.

		After describing the minutiae of Indo-Nepalese relations at great length, Narasimha Rao referred me to a particular official in his ministry who was strong, reliable and “from the south”.
		Narasimha Rao read what I wrote with surprised disapproval, and wondered to two senior officials (both south Indian!) why I ventilated the opposite point of view after he had spent more than an hour “explaining the position” to me.

		Their rationale is that, without Rao, she would not face a leadership challenge because of the TINA (there is no alternative) factor, if the party failed to do well in the elections.
