Manmohan Singh
The Indian economy grew at 5.5 percent, but if you look at the last 30 years - for example, 1960 to 1985 - the progress made by East Asian countries was phenomenal. In a single generation they had been able to transform the character of their economy. They were able to get rid of chronic poverty.
Manmohan Singh
I think the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Manmohan Singh

Manmohan Singh
Ethical and responsible behavior needs to become the cornerstone of corporate behavior

China is not I think a country which does not regulate, but there is a difference between the Chinese system and the Indian system.
Manmohan Singh
If certain facilities, local facilities have to be arranged, the local authorities have to come. And that makes the Indian system slow moving, Indian administrative system slow moving.
Manmohan Singh
If the economy is growing fast, there is call for a distributing income from the rich to the poor to to put in place social safety nets.
Manmohan Singh
There are partnerships based on principle. There are partnerships based on pragmatism. And fortunately, when it comes to Indo-American relations, both concentrations find a new robust phase of relationship, a multi-fasted relationship which I believe exists in the interests of both our countries.
Manmohan Singh
India's saving rate will go up. India's investment rate will go up. And I believe that's a plus point.
Manmohan Singh
In a world in which technology is changing at such a fast pace, where demand conditions change very fast, we need to look at a more innovative mechanism to cut down on this rigmarole of many tiers of decision-making processes.
Manmohan Singh
Democracies don't go to war.
