In power and pilloried at home, Manmohan Singh was often described as “the leader that other leaders love”. Out of power, too, Singh has preserved that reputation, preparing to accept tomorrow Japan’s second-highest civilian honour that has never before been bestowed on an Indian. Singh has now raised the bar for his successor Narendra Modi, whose drum-beating diplomacy in Japan a few months ago is considered a hit. Blamed by his party and virtually abused by his critics, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will tomorrow accept the Grand Order of the Cordon of Paulownia Flowers -– Japan’s second-highest civilian honour -– from the country’s emperor in Tokyo.telegraphindia/1141104/jsp/frontpage/story_18997074.jsp#.VFh0aclYpwE
