The demise of #ManmohanSingh ji who (looking back) presided over India’s actual ‘Acchey Din’ feels like the end of an era when India was actually (more) democratic , when Indians were free(er) of fear & intolerance and when Indian public discourse had more decency.

From Economist to PM
Born on September 26, 1932, in Gah, Punjab (now in Pakistan), Manmohan Singh wasn’t just a political figure; he was a transformative force. As India’s 13th Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, he steered the nation through economic turbulence with grace. Remember the 1991 economic reforms? Yep, that was his genius at work as Finance Minister.
Dr. Singh wasn’t just about politics; he was brains and brilliance rolled into one. A Cambridge and Oxford alum, he shattered ceilings as India’s first Sikh Prime Minister. From receiving the Padma Vibhushan to spearheading liberalization, his accolades are as vast as his impact.
The government has declared a seven-day mourning period in honour of the late leader. Dr. Singh’s final rites are scheduled for Saturday in New Delhi, with an official statement expected soon.
A Loss Beyond Words
As we bid farewell to a man who redefined leadership, his calm demeanour, intellect, and service to the nation will remain etched in our hearts forever. Rest in peace, Dr. Manmohan Singh. The nation bows to your unparalleled legacy.
Bollywood might create legends on screen, but Dr. Singh was a real-life hero whose story deserves every bit of the spotlight.
