Twitter war: Shah Rukh fans clash with
Salman-Aamir followers

Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's rivalry is old news. They both are the biggest superstars of the
film industry and lead two rival camps. Both have a great influence in the industry and they both rule
the box-office with their movies. Both Salman and Shah Rukh have great fan following. While Aamir
Khan is a close friend of Salman and has often seen promoting his films, SRK and Aamir don't get
along well. Hence, SRK was recently making fun of the latest poster of Aamir's latest movie P.K. On
Monday, the rivalry between SRK and Salman-Aamir camps heightened as fans of these superstars
took to Twitter to decide who actually rules Bollywood. And in no time #ONLYShahRukhKhanRules
and #SalmanAamirRuleBollywood started trending on Twitter. Paying a tribute to these fans, who
endure that their idols' movies do well at the box-office, we bring some of the best tweets.

READ MORE Strictly Personal: Manmohan And Gursharan|Narasimha Rao|Manmohan Singh's Daughter's
Book|Manmohan Singh

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was the finance minister in the PV Narasimha Rao government from
June 21, 1991 to May 16, 1996.

History will be kind to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
NEW DELHI: Woken up from his sleep to be informed of the "out of the blue" decision of
his appointment as India's finance minister in 1991, Dr Manmohan Singh was jokingly told
by Prime Minister Narasimha Rao that he would be sacked if "things didn't work out well".

Singh was asleep when PC Alexander, principal secretary to the Prime Minister, rang him up
frantically to convey Rao's decision to appoint him as finance minister.

"The decision was out of the blue", Singh is quoted as having said by his daughter Daman
Singh in her book "Strictly Personal: Manmohan and Gursharan", which covers the years
prior to his becoming the Prime Minister in 2004. The book is based on Daman's
conversations with her parents and hours spent in libraries and archives.

According to Singh, Rao's most important role was that he allowed the process of
liberalization and opening up to go ahead, and gave it his full support.

Singh says Rao was first a little sceptic about the liberalization idea and had to be
persuaded.

"I had to persuade him. I think he was a sceptic to begin with, but later on he was convinced
that what we were doing was the right thing to do, that there was no other way out. But he
wanted to sanctify the middle path that we should undertake liberalization but also take
care of the marginalized sections, the poor," recounts Singh.

"He also jokingly told me that if things worked well we would all claim credit, and if things
didn't work out well I would be sacked," he said.

Referring to the imposition of Emergency in 1975, Daman says it came as a surprise to her
father.

"Well, it was a surprise. There had been unrest, but nobody expected that Mrs Gandhi would
go that far," she said.

When his daughter asked him how the Emergency affected the government servants, Singh
replied, "I think there was a lot more emphasis on punctuality, on discipline. So some good
things happened."

After the Morarji Desai-led Janata Party won a majority and came to power post-
Emergency, a number of officers were shunted out but Singh kept his job.

he was the Union finance minister, on August 20, 1993. (Getty Images file photo)

Initially, Singh felt Desai was not quite fond of him. "When Morarji Desai became prime
minister he had been told that I was close to the previous government. So he was quite rude
to begin with. But after some time, he became very fond of me. Morarji Desai was fairly
balanced, although people misunderstand him as a very rigid man. I think on the surface he
was rigid, but he was amenable to persuasion," Singh is quoted as saying.

Anyways indirectly it was done by matured voters of India in last election. He will be remembered as hand tied PM
India ever has. Grey area is why he was so inactive during his tenure?He was well experienced manager but unable
to utilize anything sitting as PM?
