Xing has recently been treated for senile diseases.
The deceased, who served as India's prime minister for 10 years from 2004, was a Ph.D. in economics at Oxford University in Britain and is considered a major player in reforming India from a socialist economic system to a market economy in 1991 when he was finance minister.

Sing is still respected by many Indians for his humble and sincere image during his public life.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on social media that the deceased was "one of the most respected leaders" and "had a strong impact on our economic policies, including when he was finance minister."
