Pranab Mukherjee has won this year’s Finance Minister of the Year for Asia award given by London-based daily Emerging Markets. He was rated as the best FM in the world in 1984.
"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance."-Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
