It is conventional wisdom to hail Manmohan Singh as the author of India’s economic reforms. This is misconceived. That credit goes to PV Narasimha Rao. Only a prime minister can strategise and execute a paradigm shift in the nation’s economic policy. He would need a number of technocrats to carry out that job intelligently, and Manmohan Singh, as Rao’s finance minister led a team of able technocrats, among whom we should note the likes of Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Shankar Acharya and C Rangarjan at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India’s central bank. To call Manmohan Singh the author of economic reforms is like saying that contract manufacturers Foxconn and Pegatron make the iPhone, and not Apple.
