“Dr. Manmohan Singh is a unique leader who has shaped India’s destiny in a crucial historical juncture (1991-2014).

While we deeply mourn his passing, we also recognize this as a moment to thoughtfully reflect on and critically examine the impact of his policies,” said the organisers of the event in a release. Following the lectures, there will be a discussion on the implications of Dr Singh’s policies for the present and the future of India.
