About Manmohan Singh

Manmohan Singh (1932 - 2024) was a prominent Indian economist and politician who served as the Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014. His tenure is historically significant for presiding over a period of substantial economic growth and for advancing India’s diplomatic relations, particularly with the United States, which included key nuclear deal negotiations. This historical influence places him at an HPI Rank of #770 among the most influential figures analyzed by the Pantheon project.

Despite this solid historical ranking, Singh currently experiences a clear internet attention gap. In 2025, his Wikipedia page accrued an estimated 1.3 million views, which, when benchmarked against his historical importance, results in an overattention factor of +4x. This suggests his digital presence is four times stronger than might be expected based on his HPI score alone. To contextualize this, consider George H. W. Bush, ranked slightly higher at #788, garnered 4.4M views, indicating Singh has significant, though perhaps fading, relevance in online searches compared to some of his international peers.

This digital interest is rapidly waning, as evidenced by the -65.7% year-over-year change in views, and a further -20% drop in momentum from Q1 to Q3 of 2025, pointing toward declining contemporary online focus on his legacy.
