An Honourable and glorious exit Well Done Dr Rajan

Dr Rajan has taken the right decision to quit. Better to be away from politicians as otherwise one will lose ones' personal integrity, individuality and dignity. This is what happened to Dr M M SINGH a great academician well known Economist and a professional of very high calibre.If he had retired after his first term as PM, history would have treated him kindly and honourably. Being part of politics, he lost all his  glory of academic and other professional achievements in public perception at least. Now Dr Rajan will be remembered for his short stint as the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and the excellent contribution he made to the economy and the financial system as well.  His decision to quit without waiting for an extension to keep himself away from politics and  be back in academia leaving all the glories of being attached to an institution which has no autonomy or independence from political powers is really marvellous and a great lesson to those  who care for values in life more than anything else . Good that he right royally decided to quit making many to ponder particularly  by a few bright minds  among the political class. No glory or fame at the cost of personal dignity and self respect  is worth having is what Dr Rajan has demonstrated with his present decision. Dr Rajan came,conquered and left after leaving a permanent impression on his professional achievements and personal values worth recalling for ever. He created his own history to be recorded in Golden Letters  in the history of RBI as and when written in the future.

Wish him the very best for all his future ventures with his bright and unique ideas.
