CHANDIGARH: While prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh-led government presents another budget to maintain the growth saga on Monday, an India-born former World Bank economist who shaped China and Eastern Bloc's transition from controlled to market economies has termed Dr Manmohan Singh the Deng Xiaoping of India and Nehru a cause of under-development of the country and its human resources.
Dr IJ Singh, who is now a life-term professor in the national war college of America, told TOI in a first ever interview to the media, "Dr Manmohan Singh is the Deng Xiaoping of India but he is not doing enough to pace reforms in the economy." Deng is considered the father of China's fast-paced economy and new wealth creation. During his 25 years with the World Bank, Singh worked in some capacity or the other to help controlled economies like China, Russia and other eastern bloc countries to switch over to market economies. Son of the first turbaned Sikh ICS officer with the British Sardar Kapur Singh who favoured a homeland for Sikhs, IJ Singh said the Nehruvian economic model created "sink holes."
A junior of PM Manmohan Singh in the World Bank, he was particularly harsh on Indira Gandhi saying, "She destroyed most of India's institutions." The economist was scathing in his criticism of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru saying the "Commanding Heights" of Nehru on the pattern of the Soviet economy have become "sink holes" for the Indian economy and turned it into a country which has the largest number of poor and malnourished in the world. "I taught the Chinese to let an artist pursue art, teacher teach and specialists follow their own pursuits, while the government should invest in health, education and infrastructure and the private sector take care of the rest of the activities," he said praising the Chinese.
During Mao's regime, experts were forcibly made to do farm labour. Though extolling Indian democracy, he, however, showed his frustration saying India should concentrate on health, education and infrastructure. Indian democracy is awonder with many different people, cultures, regions and religions peacefully participating in keeping it healthy.
