Manmohan Singh's father may have believed his bookworm son would one day lead India, but the understated technocrat with the trademark blue turban, who died Thursday at the age of 92, never dreamed it would actually happen. Singh was pitchforked into leading the world's largest democracy in 2004 by the shock decision of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi to turn down the role after leading the party to an upset win over the ruling Hindu nationalists. He oversaw an economic boom in Asia's fourth-largest economy in his first term, although slowing growth in later years marred his second stint. Known as "Mr Clean", Singh nonetheless saw his image tarnished during his decade-long tenure when a series of corruption cases became public. As finance minister in the early 1990s, he was hailed at home and abroad for initiating big-bang reforms that opened India's inward-looking economy to the world. Known as a loyalist to the Gandhi political dynasty, Singh studied economics to find a way to eradicate poverty in the vast nation and never held elected office before becoming PM. But he deftly managed the rough and tumble of Indian politics -- even though many said Sonia Gandhi, the Italian-born widow of the assassinated Rajiv Gandhi, was the power behind the throne. Born in 1932 in the mud-house village of Gah in what is now Pakistan, Singh moved to the holy Sikh city of Amritsar as a teenager around the time the subcontinent was split at the end of British rule into mainly Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. His father was a dry-fruit seller in Amritsar, and he had nine brothers and sisters. He was so determined to get an education he would study at night under streetlights because it was too noisy at home, his brother Surjit Singh told AFP in 2004. "Our father always used to say Manmohan will be the prime minister of India since he stuck out among the 10 children," said Singh. "He always had his nose in a book." Singh won scholarships to attend both Cambridge, where he obtained a first in economics, and Oxford, where he completed his PhD. He worked in a string of senior civil posts, served as a central bank governor and also held various jobs with global agencies such as the United Nations. Singh was tapped in 1991 by then Congress prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao to reel India back from the worst financial crisis in its modern history -- currency reserves had sunk so low the country was on the brink of defaulting on foreign loans. Singh unleashed sweeping change that broke sharply with India's Soviet-style state-directed economy. In his first term he steered the economy through a period of nine-percent growth, lending the country the international clout it had long sought. He also sealed a landmark nuclear deal with the US that he said would help India meet its growing energy needs. But by 2008 there was growing disquiet among the ruling alliance's left-leaning parties about the pact, while high inflation -- notably food and fuel prices -- hit India's poor hard. Still, voters remained drawn to his calm, pragmatic persona, and in 2009 Congress steered its alliance to a second term. Singh vowed to step up financial reforms to drive economic growth, but he came under increasing fire from critics who said he had done nothing to stop a string of corruption scandals on his watch. Several months before the 2014 elections, Singh said he would retire after the polls, with Sonia Gandhi's son Rahul earmarked to take his place if Congress won. But Congress crashed to its worst-ever result at that time as the Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Narendra Modi, won a landslide. More recently, an unflattering book by a former aide titled "The Accidental Prime Minister" portrayed him as timid and controlled by Sonia Gandhi. Singh -- who said historians would be kinder to him than contemporary detractors -- became a vocal critic of Modi's economic policies, and more recently warned about the risks that rising communal tensions posed to India's democracy. pmc-grk/abh/fox/leg/smsFijian Holdings Limited (FHL) states it is postponing the opening of its FHL Tower due to a “workplace incident” at the construction site.

Best bet: AGGELOS THE GREAT (8) Best value: CRAZY MASON (7) FIRST: Tiz the Prince drops and makes third start of form cycle; career-best predicted. Janssen bounced in last after game placing in prior; rebound threat. Unaffected could make forward move with return to dirt. SECOND: Puff'smagicdragon was nearly eight lengths clear of third finisher when a sharp second at Finger Lakes last time; ready for prime time. Hours in a Day was a determined maiden winner in last and now makes first start since re-claimed by Linda Rice; very dangerous. Conniving exits hard-charging placing in last; must be considered.

Party With Smarty owns competitive back numbers; worth long look at long price. FOURTH: Tap It Easy moves to dirt and gets added ground after useful sixth in debut; forward move predicted. New Matthew (late-running second last time) and Trinity River (just two lengths behind "Matthew" on Nov. 3) could easily impact if pace meltdown ensues. FIFTH: Patty Van Twinkle makes first start since moving to Charlie Baker barn; big effort on tap. Snappin Buttons owns a win and two seconds from three starts; likely underlay.

SEVENTH: Crazy Mason is training sharply for first start since May; ready. War Stride ships in from Finger Lakes after winning two in a row; very interesting.

Yo Banana Boy , a front-running winner in last, could play out as the controlling speed once again. Flying Emperor also is fleet-footed and is working sharply; right in the thick of this. NINTH: Pretty Ana tallied swift late-pace figure when third in last; rail draw is the clincher. Audacious could play out as the main speed in field that's light on front-runners. Alpine Princess bested a next-out victor by nearly 10 lengths when winning Remington Park Oaks last time; must be factored into the mix. 10TH: Unlimitedpotential has the potential to deliver a huge effort based on front-end score on July 25; swift half-mile breeze for return seals it. Liberte de Bayeux owns sprinter's speed and must be given serious consideration. Striking Sparks owns three wins and three seconds from last seven starts; obvious threat.
