“The Economist Who Warned Us: How manmohan singh Was Right and Modi Ruined India”
Back in January 2014, Dr. manmohan singh, one of the world’s most respected economists and India’s former Prime Minister, made a calm but powerful warning: “It would be disastrous for the country if narendra modi were to become Prime Minister.”
At the time, many mocked him as “silent” or “weak.” A decade later, his words ring like prophecy. Let’s look at the grim reality india faces today under Modi’s rule:
1. Rupee Collapse: $1 = ₹88.22
manmohan singh left india with a stable economy and strong forex reserves. Under Modi, reckless policies, propaganda economics, and poor global positioning have pushed the rupee into freefall.
2. Fuel Shock: petrol E20 at ₹100
Instead of reducing dependency on imports, Modi’s government experimented hastily with E20 fuel, hurting car owners and common commuters. Prices remain painfully high, burning holes in middle-class pockets.
3. Trump’s 50% Tariffs Hit indian Exports
While vietnam and bangladesh negotiated smart trade deals, Modi’s government remained obsessed with PR events. Now, india faces crushing tariffs that threaten jobs and export industries, with no diplomatic cushion.
4. Gold at ₹1 Lakh: Inflation Out of Control
gold crossing ₹1 lakh isn’t prosperity—it’s a sign of deep inflation, falling rupee, and public fear of the economy. Under Manmohan, india saw steady growth with controlled inflation; under Modi, instability rules.
5. From Economist PM to event Manager PM
manmohan singh believed in data, planning, and institutional strength. Modi believes in headlines, speeches, and photo-ops. The result? India’s global credibility is shattered, investors are fleeing, and citizens are paying the price.
👉 The Verdict: Dr. manmohan singh was not just a “silent PM”—he was the economist who saw the storm coming. india didn’t listen in 2014. Today, we are living his warning.
