دانلود کتاب Dr. Manmohan Singh - A Tempestuous Tenure

Since the past thirty years, Dr Manmohan Singh has occupied a pivotal position in the Indian economic and political scenario. While his appointment as the Union Finance Minister in the year 1991 was unexpected, his path-breaking economic reforms of introducing the policies of liberalisation and globalisation remain the plinth on which the Indian economy stands today.
His selection as Prime Minister in 2004 was a surprise as Sonia Gandhi declined the position and conferred the responsibility on him. The Indian economic ship sailed briskly under his leadership and braved the 2008 global recession and transformed the rural sector at the same time. However, at the end of his tenure, he became a target of an extensive defamation campaign from the Bhartiya Janata Party and its supporters. The agitation of Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal played a significant role in this campaign. The media also had a role to play. As a consequence, his tenure was stormy, and this book attempts to understand the sequence of events that finally created a fertile ground for Narendra Modi to be the Prime Minister of the country. The book tries to examine the role of the anti-corruption movement, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the media in ensuring the character assassination of Dr Singh, Sonia Gandhi and the Congress Party.
However, the policies, decisions and flagship programs of his government were hard to ignore for the new government under Narendra Modi. Apart from Dr Singh’s stint as a Finance Minister for five years and then later as a Prime Minister, this book also covers the first three years of the Modi government, right till the Budget of 2017. The decision on demonetization and its impact is also a part of this book.
