History

Historical Context

In 1991, Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao appointed economist Manmohan Singh as finance minister and launched liberalisation to avert a balance-of-payments crisis. The reforms opened trade, cut tariffs and allowed foreign direct investment, which rose from $132 million in 1991-92 to $5.3 billion by 1995-96, spurring export growth. Today, Modi’s 76th birthday celebrations invoke that legacy as global leaders salute India’s emerging strategic role.
