Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is the weakest leader to have led India since Bahadur Shah Zafar. He is a fantastic human being no doubt about that may be a great economist too and undoubtedly India is indebted to his original economic liberalization policies in his stint as the finance minister in early 90’s. Unfortunately that is where his list of achievement ends. Zafar, the last Mughal king was also a great human being and a 1st grade poet but history only remembers him as a weakling. History, despite being a mere account of victors over the vanquished, has never been kind to cowards for it can never accommodate capitulation even in the most gloriously rationalized form. Mr. Singh will always be remembered as an accident that happened to India after a certain fair skinned lady relinquished the throne in an act of political master stroke of 2004.
