A Big Vote for Cold Showers

Conventional wisdom has it that India's reforms hurt hundred of
millions of villagers. It's a powerful case—except that it's not true
By Fareed Zakaria
Newsweek
July 12 issue - Recalling his first memory of India's new prime
minister, Manmohan Singh, 50 years ago, fellow economist Jagdish
Bhagwati says: "We were both students at Cambridge University, and I
was struck by this young man from a poor farmer's family who would
start his day every morning at 4 with a cold shower—in the English
winter! That's when I knew that he was going to go places." And he did
go places, holding every senior economic position in the Indian
government. As Finance minister, he launched India's historic reform
program in 1991. Singh combines his intelligence and achievement with
extraordinary honesty and decency. But will all these talents be
enough to do what has often seemed the impossible—pursue sensible
economic policies while also keeping hundreds of millions of voters
happy? He has a crack at it starting with his budget this week.
