Just got the news that Dr. Manmohan Singh, one of India’s most respected and revered leaders, has passed away. This is a sombre moment for the nation, as we bid farewell to a visionary statesman who dedicated his life to public service and economic reform.
Dr. Singh, known for his calm demeanour, exceptional intellect, and unwavering commitment to India’s progress, served as the Prime Minister of the country from 2004 to 2014. He is credited with leading India through significant economic liberalisation during his tenure as Finance Minister in the 1990s, a move that transformed the nation into a global economic power house.
His passing marks the end of an era in Indian politics. As a leader, he was admired for his humility, integrity, and ability to build consensus across political divides. Dr. Singh’s contributions to India’s growth and his role in shaping the country’s modern identity will remain etched in history.
As we reflect on his life and legacy, it is a moment to honour his work and the values he stood for. The nation has lost a true statesman, and his absence will be deeply felt by millions who looked up to him as a beacon of hope and progress.
May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire generations to come.
