	P. V. Narasimha Rao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Pamulaparthi Venkata Narasimha Rao (పాములపర్తి వంకట నరసిమ్హా రావు in Telugu, पामुलापर्ति वेन्कट नरसिम्ह राव in Devanagari) (June 28, 1921 – December 23, 2004) was the ninth Prime Minister of the Republic of India, and led one of the most important administrations in India's modern history that oversaw major economic transformation and checked national security crises.
		Rao studied at Osmania University and the Universities of Mumbai and Nagpur; he held a Bachelor's and Master's degrees in law.

	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.
		The major achievements in the political career of Pamulaparti Venkata Narasimha Rao were when he served as India's ninth Prime Minster from 1991-1996; twice served as the foreign affairs minister and once as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
		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.

	Telegraph News PV Narasimha Rao
		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.

	Outside view: Revenge on Rao - (United Press International)
		Narasimha Rao's family members and the crowd of mourners would have expected to see the first prime minister from the south of the country in the history of free India be given at least the same honor in death as Sanjay Gandhi or Charan Singh, a state funeral in New Delhi and an appropriate memorial.
		A month before his death, Narasimha Rao told this writer that it had indeed been a very "ugly" past few years, thanks to the constant threat of imprisonment hanging over his head as a result of the cases against him that had been instigated by his Congress rivals.
		To those scripting this future Stalin-style show trial, it did not matter that Narasimha Rao had himself insisted in 1991 that Rajiv Gandhi gave him permission to retire, and was looking forward during and after the polls of that year to abandoning politics for writing, music and the company of friends.
