  • Described as a "reluctant king" in his first stint as prime minister, the quietly spoken Manmohan Singh was arguably one of India's most successful leaders.

Manmohan Singh, India's former Prime Minister known for his pivotal role in economic liberalization, passed away at the age of 92 on December 26, 2024. Singh, who served as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, was remembered for his quiet demeanor and significant contributions to India's economic reforms in the early 1990s as Finance Minister. His tenure as PM was marked by the Indo-US nuclear deal, which was a landmark in India's foreign policy, and efforts towards inclusive growth, although his administration faced criticism for corruption scandals. Singh, an economist by training, was often described as a reluctant politician, thrust into the limelight by the Congress party. His death was mourned by political leaders across the spectrum, who praised his integrity, intellect, and dedication to public service.
