Chandra Shekhar, also known as Jananayak, was an Indian politician who served as the Prime Minister of India from 1990 to 1991. Leading a minority government, he faced challenges such as the inability to pass the budget, resulting in India’s credit downgrades. He authorized the mortgaging of gold to prevent default during a financial crisis. Granting permission for US military planes to refuel in Indian airports during the Gulf War improved his image with the West. Ultimately, the 1991 Indian economic crisis and Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination led to his government’s downfall.
