Manmohan Singh's foreign policy vision: A lasting impact on India New Delhi: Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh breathed his last on Thursday evening at Delhi-based All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS). Singh rose to become the country’s 13th prime minister in 2004 after the Congress party ousted BJP-led NDA government under Atal Behari Vajpayee. In his 33 years of service to the nation, Dr Manmohan Singh will not be only known for pulling India out of brink of bankruptcy, opening the doors for the foreign investment and eliminating the permit or licence raj, but he will also be known for shaping India’s external relations that the next generation will surely be reaping. Despite being born in Pakistan (undivided India), Manmohan Singh never visited to the country even after being in power for 10 years. Let’s analyse his legacy in the field of foreign policy:--- After the successful nuclear exploration at Pokhran in 1974 and 1998 under the Indira Gandhi and the Vajpayee government, respectively, India was isolated from the world trade by the nuclear suppliers group that include the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Canada among others. In 2004, Manmohan…

Twelve Years That Changed India: Assessing the Modi Era June 9 marks 12 years of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre. A day later, on June 10, Narendra Modicompletes 4,399 daysas Prime Minister, becoming India’s longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister, surpassing Jawaharlal Nehru’s record. Milestones are largely symbolic, though, and what ultimately matters is whether a government leaves the country materially different from the one it inherited. By that measure, the Modi era has already secured a place as the most consequential period in independent India’s history. There is perhaps no major parameter of governance and politics on which the needle has not moved significantly. On internal security, Naxalism, once described as India’s greatest internal security challenge, has been defanged. Terrorism driven by fundamentalists in mainland India has been almost eliminated, especially when compared to the UPA years (2004-14). The recent Operation Sindoor demonstrated something even more significant: Pakistan’s long-standing strategy of using nuclear blackmail as a shield for cross-border terrorism has been decisively challenged. On poverty alleviation, India has…
