Our Prime Minister, Dr. Man Mohan Singh, is an economist of international fame. Even after being a great scholar and running a vast country like India as the Head of the Government, he is not vain, haughty, arrogant or boastful.
He is, unusually, modest, non-assuming, very well-behaved and soft-spoken. You will never find him talking to anyone in a raised voice, or using unparliamentarily language. He is a living example of ‘simple living and high thinking’.
Dr. Singh was born in a small village, named Goah, situated between Lahore and Islamabad. The family shifted to Amritsar soon after the partition of the country and life for the young boy was really tough and hard.
