Praises for books by Daman Singh:

“In a world where theatrics and high-volume drama are essential requirements for any role in public life, Manmohan Singh is a clear outlier. His speeches can be dull and his personality does not inspire many. But despite this, he has been one of the few personalities who have been instrumental in shaping the contours of Indian public policy since its independence.

This book provides interesting insights into the lives of both Manmohan and Gursharan. It captures various key events along their journey. And while Gursharan’s life has been captured quite methodically, there is invariably greater focus on the roles donned by Manmohan, issues of those times and various decisions taken by him under those situations.” – Amazon Reader

“Quite Insightful and gives us the glimpse of high / low in life of a person, who dedicated his life to abundance in academia and rose to stature of highly regarded economist, bureaucrat and noble prime minister.” – Amazon Reader

“This best part of this book is that it doesn’t force an opinion, rather brings out the facts and leaves up to the readers to think and decide or may be just contemplate.” – Amazon Reader
