Who is the Prime Minister of India ?

Manmohan Singh
He is the 17th and current Prime Minister of India. Dr. Singh is a member of the Indian National Congress party and became the first Sikh to become Prime Minister of India on May 22, 2004. He is arguably the most educated Indian Prime Minister in history.
He was born on 26 September 1932, in Gah, Punjab (now in Chakwal district, Pakistan). He has an Undergraduate (1952) and a Master's degree (1954) from Punjab University, Chandigarh; an Undergraduate degree (1957) from Cambridge University (St. John's College) and a PhD (1962) from Oxford University (Nuffield College). The University of Oxford awarded him an honorary Doctor of Civil Law degree in June 2005, and in October 2006, the University of Cambridge followed with the same honour.
Dr. Singh married Mrs. Gursharan Kaur in 1958 and they have three daughters
Dr. Singh, an economist by profession, worked for International Monetary Fund in his younger days.[3] Dr. Singh is known to be an unassuming politician, enjoying a formidable, highly respected and admired image.[4] Due to his work at the UN, International Monetary Fund and other international bodies, he is highly respected around the world. He was awarded the Outstanding Parliamentarian Award in 2002. Before becoming Prime Minister, he served as the Finance Minister under Narasimha Rao. He is credited for transforming the economy in the early 90s during the financial crisis. He served as Leader of the Opposition in the Upper house, from 1998 - 2004 when the Bharatiya Janata Party led coalition government was in office.

His economic policies - which included getting rid of several socialist policies - were popular, especially among the middle class. He enjoys strong support among the middle and educated classes of India due to his educational background. Dr. Singh lost his seat in the Lower House from South Delhi in 1999. He is thus the only Indian Prime Minister never to have been an elected member of the Lower House of Parliament. He has been a member of the Rajya Sabha from Assam since 1991.
