Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has retired from Indian politics after a distinguished 33-year tenure in the Rajya Sabha, marking the end of an era that saw significant economic reforms and challenges, including the controversial demonetization move on Nov 8, 2016. Singh, known for his role in opening India's economy to global competition, leaves behind a legacy that includes navigating the country from the brink of default to becoming one of the world's largest economies. His retirement was acknowledged by various political figures, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Siddaramaiah, and media outlets, highlighting his contributions to India's development and his intellectual prowess. The same period also sees Sonia Gandhi entering the Rajya Sabha for the first time, marking a significant transition in Indian politics.
