Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister of India, passed away at 92, leaving behind a legacy shaped by significant economic reforms and political challenges. Known for his calm, scholarly demeanor, Singh’s leadership was often critiqued as weak, yet he remained resolute in defending his record. His tenure was marked by key moments, including his defence of the UPA’s achievements and strong criticisms of his political opponents, particularly Narendra Modi. His contributions to India’s economic liberalisation are indelible, but his legacy remains complex.
