Dr. Manmohan Singh, revered as both a 'reluctant prime minister' and the 'architect of economic reforms,' has stirred reflective tributes from the UK media following his passing in New Delhi at the age of 92. His tenure is hailed for its bold transformations in India's economic landscape, further solidifying India's global presence.

The British High Commissioner to India, Lindy Cameron, extolled Singh's invaluable contributions and strategic partnerships with three UK Prime Ministers, crediting his reforms for stabilizing the global economy post-crisis. His educational ties to the UK also underscored the cultural and academic connections celebrated between the two nations.

Described as a 'towering statesman,' he led India through rapid economic growth, proving that transformative ideas can indeed change the world.
