Manmohan Singh passes away: From India-US nuclear deal to Mumbai terror attacks
Live MintIn his memoir ‘A Promised Land,’ former US President Barack Obama described ex-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as a ‘a gentle, soft-spoken economist’ with a ‘white beard and a turban, marks of his Sikh faith that lent him the air of a holy man to the Westerners. Singh’s UPA government worked closely with Hasina’s administration to tackle cross-border issues and strengthen trade ties, though issues like the Teesta water-sharing agreement remained unresolved. Singh was also the oasis of calm when Maldives moved towards a multi-party democracy as President Mohamed Nasheed became the President ousting Abdul Mamoon Gayoom after three decades, and Nepal moved into a multi-party democracy after Maoists led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda came to power, dislodging Nepal’s royalty, according to a report in The Indian Express. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seemed like a fitting emblem of this progress: a member of the tiny, often persecuted Sikh religious minority who’d risen to the highest office in the land.
