From Pakistan, with love: When Manmohan Singh reunited with childhood friend

India Today  

When Dr Manmohan Singh, former prime minister and a pioneer of economic reforms, died at the age of 92 on Thursday, tributes poured in for the man whose humility and wisdom defined his leadership. When Singh became Prime Minister in 2004, the news resonated across borders, reaching his native village in Pakistan. Singh was India’s first Sikh Prime Minister and the first leader after Jawaharlal Nehru to win re-election following a full term. The image of a Titan watch exchanged between two childhood friends from opposite sides of a divided land stands as a testament to Singh’s belief in the power of humanity over borders.
