Manmohan Singh is the first Indian prime minister since Jawaharlal Nehru to be returned to office following a full five-year term (that's since 1964, for those keeping track at home).
Note: I heard this little anecdote on the BBC this morning, and in trying to confirm its validity came across Singh's Wikipedia page. Sure enough, it appears in the introduction. Which got me thinking: is the venerable BBC really relying on Wikipedia for its research? Or was some Wiki nerd really quick to update Singh's page this morning? Either scenario highlights the remarkable velocity with which information is disseminated and distributed in the Internet age.
