Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh died on Thursday at the age of 92. The former prime minister was taken to the emergency room last night (local time) after collapsing at home, according to a statement from the AIIMS hospital in New Delhi. Singh had previously been treated for age-related illnesses.
Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister of the most populous country from 2004 to 2014 and is considered the architect of India's economic liberalization.
After studying economics at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, Singh served as governor of India's central bank, advisor to the government, and then as minister of economy from 1991 to 1996. In 2004, he was appointed prime minister by his party, which unexpectedly won the elections, and served until 2014. Through a series of measures, Singh is credited with opening India to foreign trade and private investment, leading to a period of unprecedented economic growth for the country.
