The leader
 Five years is not a sufficient timeframe to judge a person's potential,
but it is certainly enough to ascertain a man's greatness. From 1984-89, Rajiv
Gandhi was the prime minister of India, a young and zealous man who assumed
premiership not in the best of times. Of all the things that Gandhi did, he will
be most remembered for his vision of a modern India, a computerized India. His
singular biggest achievement if any is the New Computer Policy, 1984, announced
within 19 days of his coming to power. This new regime liberated the shackled
potential of Indian IT, and we are still reaping its fruits. Gandhi also
believed in the power of R&D as he setup various technology missions and for
setting up C-DAC that gave India its first indigenous supercomputer.
