Infact the USSR state media didn't describe the partition in religious terms but said that the Imperialist British govt. has broken India into Agricultural and Industrial countries so that these two bases will stay separate and hence hinder their economic progress. Interesting viewpoint from the previous communist regime.

Now take a look at this resume-
When confronted with new settlement issue, he said:"
What, you are saying we can't have more Jew babies?"
Genius?Freak?Idiot? iReport. You decide.
On a side note, Jarnee the cute face, those few who did "bunk" his lectures are the real smart ones. The real smart ones can always find their own ways.
It is my sincerely hope that your father was one of them few.
India/China Bhai Bhai.
Thanks for the information. Interesting indeed. But the fact remains that both the Industrial base and the money laid heavily in India. In fact, we didn't even get our share of the treasure at the time of partition, and only received about 60% of it 7 years later. Let's not even mention the state of government and military hardware and infrastructure left behind in Pakistan. So any claim that India started form behind Pakistan in everything is flawed to the extreme, and a child of propaganda.
Now, back on topic. I have always respected Mr. Manmohan Singh deeply. As for his resume, frankly speaking, and I know this might enrage a few here, the "Career" section was not that impressive considering the politics of the subcontinent (except for the Prime Minister part, of course). The most impressive part appeared to be the "Education" section, followed by "Awards and Distinctions" section. The disappointing part was that he is not widely published, which is a shame, really. After his retirement from politics, I'm sure we'll see more published works from him. All in all, very impressive resume, but I know people with better ones (minus the "leading a country" part).
Edit
Does Manmohan mean "dear to the heart"?
I have nothing to decide. The people of Israel decided to have him as their PM. Ask them if they voted for a Genius Freak or Idiot'? Personally, I would vote for a Para Commando with degrees from MIT and over 25 yrs of experience in politics if he ever contested elections in India.
It's a radical departure from traditional "babu-jee" style politik in a 3rd world country. His appointment is an exemplary for much of the developing world, no doubt, where appointments are based on sheer political affiliations and inheritance and family dynasties. Congress made an unconventional bet by appointing this intellectual horse to work for the highest position.
However, i feel its premature to judge him as a PM because leadership positions involve specializations in not just one but many social and scientific paradigms. Many questions need to be asked to see how effective he is as a leader, such as, How much respect and influence does he have over his party? How effective is he in bringing people together? How efficient is he in motivating people? How much authority and respect does he command over his subordinates?

I'm not saying that other parties are a whole lot better, but folks that are looking for heroes should keep looking.
