India bid farewell to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, cremated with full state honours at Nigambodh Ghat, New Delhi. His daughter lit the funeral pyre, with President Droupadi Murmu, PM Narendra Modi, and global dignitaries in attendance. Singh’s final journey began at AICC headquarters amid chants of "Manmohan Singh Amar Rahe." Known as the architect of India’s economic reforms, Singh served as PM from 2004-2014. The nation observes seven days of mourning, with the tricolour at half-mast. Leaders from the US, Canada, France, and neighbouring nations paid tributes to Singh’s legacy.
