India's former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has died at the age of 92. Singh was widely regarded for two achievements: a landmark nuclear deal with the United States and engineering India's economic reform. As finance minister in the 1990s, he put reforms in place that moved India toward a capitalist economy, while avoiding a potential economic crisis.
