NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Former Indian Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao, who initiated free-market reforms but ended his political career facing criminal charges, died of heart failure on Thursday, the government said.

Rao, 83, who was admitted to a Delhi hospital on Dec. 9 for a respiratory problem, had a history of heart illness and suffered a heart attack, an aide said. He had diabetes and had also undergone major heart surgery in the past.

A shrewd politician with a trademark pout that cartoonists loved, Rao headed a minority Congress party government from 1991 to 1996 to become the first Congress leader outside the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty to complete a full term as prime minister.

Political analysts said it was the tact and ample patience of Rao – plucked from semi-retirement in 1991 to take over from the assassinated Rajiv Gandhi – that saw him rise above power struggles to unite the party.

Hold on a minute? Aren't you muslim? I thought we're not allowed to say "God Bless his Soul" for a dead Kaffir. This issue was settled by religious guppies in the Religion forum. We know for sure that he must be in hell because he wasn't Muslim, right? By saying this, aren't you telling Allah to do something which he will not do?

.................again speechless

May he rest in peace.

Narasimha Rao led the Indian economy to what it is today by giving a free reign to Manmohan Singh, which led India to become the fastest growing economy in the world.

He was a great leader.
