At his last press conference as India’s prime minister in 2014, Manmohan Singh predicted that “history will be kinder” to him than contemporary media and political opposition. History will indeed remember Singh as a mild-mannered, articulate and unassertive leader who pulled his country out of an economic crisis and led it through a transformative period.
Singh died at a hospital in the national capital New Delhi on Thursday following a "sudden loss of consciousness at home”. He was 92.
