<span style="color: #1f497d">No other leader since Jawaharlal Nehru, a founding father of Indian independence, has managed to win re-election after serving a full five-year term as prime minister.</span><span style="color: #1f497d"></span></p><p><span style="color: #1f497d"></span></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">It is all a huge change from a few weeks ago, when Singh came under pressure even from the Congress party's own allies in the run-up to the election to cede the post of prime minister after criticism of his perceived weak leadership.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">When Singh underwent heart bypass surgery in January, many critics thought he would be unable to lead Congress to victory in a mammoth, month-long general election.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">But backed by Congress party head Sonia Gandhi, who many see as the real power behind the throne, he has held steadfast.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">Singh now has the chance to follow through on the reforms he first initiated in opening up India's economy in 1991.</span><span

#1f497d"></span></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">The prime minister still faces huge challenges.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">Asia's third-largest economy is faced with its slowest growth in six years, a rising fiscal deficit and increasing instability in rival Pakistan.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">The Mumbai attacks, which killed at least 166 people in India's financial hub, hit the brakes on peace talks with Pakistan.</span><span style="color: #1f497d"></span></p><p><span style="color: #1f497d"></span></p><p> <strong><span style="color: #1f497d">RELUCTANT PM</span></strong></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">Singh became prime minister five years ago when Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, who led the party to a surprise victory, declined the job fearing her Italian ancestry would be used by Hindu-nationalist opponents to attack the government.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">A former finance minister and central bank governor, Singh also took on the job of finance minister last December in the midst of an economic slowdown, after naming Palaniappan Chidambaram to lead the Home Ministry after the Mumbai attacks.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">This election is not the first time that Singh has been underestimated.</span><span style="color: #1f497d"></span></p><p><span style="color: #1f497d"></span></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">Last year, he stood up to his communist allies over a civilian nuclear energy deal with the United States, securing an alternative majority and winning a tense vote of confidence in July after the left withdrew their parliamentary support.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">Born into a poor Sikh family in a part of British-ruled India now in Pakistan, Singh studied by candlelight to win scholarships to Cambridge and Oxford, earning a doctorate with a thesis on the role of exports and free trade in India's economy.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">As India's first Sikh prime minister, he made a public apology in parliament for the 1984 riots in which some 3,000 Sikhs were killed.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">Known for his simple lifestyle Singh, who has three daughters, has never won an election and sits in the mostly nominated upper house of parliament.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">During his stint as finance minister from 1991 to 1996, Singh saved an economy from a balance of payments crisis and unveiled far-reaching reforms that opened insular India to the world.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="color: #1f497d">In his maiden speech he famously quoted Victor Hugo, saying "no power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come."</span></p><p><span style="color: #1f497d"></span></p><p><span style="color: #1f497d">*************************************************************</span></p><p><span style="color:
