More quotes by Manmohan Singh
My top most priority is to deal with India's massive social and economic problems, so that chronic poverty, ignorance and disease can be conquered in a reasonably short period of time.
Manmohan Singh
So outside agriculture, in manufacturing and services, we must create a lot more jobs. But that also means that we must ensure that our systems of general education and technical education are in line with the job requirements that a more modern manufacturing and a more modern services sector would require.
Manmohan Singh
We need multiculturalism, respect for diversity, tolerance, respect for diverse faiths.
Manmohan Singh
Life is never free of contradictions
Manmohan Singh
Economic policy and decision making do not function in a political vacuum.
Manmohan Singh
The emergence of India as a major global power is an idea whose time has come. This is a legitimate ambition for China. This is a legitimate ambition for India. And the challenge for the humanity is to evolve a world system in which the legitimate ambitions of both our countries can find constructive expression without threatening anybody else.
Manmohan Singh
I think whatever I've done, I hope I've earned a footnote in India's long and tortuous history.

I think the modernization of Chinese economy and Chinese society is a prime concern.
Manmohan Singh

Manmohan Singh
My vision is to work for the relationship between India and Pakistan which would be like the relation between Canada and the United States.
Manmohan Singh
The death of distance. There is hardly any middle class family in India who doesn't have a son, a daughter, a son-in-law, a brother, a brother-in-law in the United States. That is a very powerful new bond.
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
I should like to express our profound gratitude to the Americans of Indian origin. The way they have conducted themselves, the way they have worked hard to carve out a niche for themselves in the Silicon Valley, I think this has also given America a new idea about what India is capable of.
Manmohan Singh
[Urbanization] is the inevitable outcome of the processes of growth and the processes of modernization.
Manmohan Singh
I do believe that the future of civilization belongs to those who would lay emphasis on working together instead of talking about clash of civilizations.
Manmohan Singh
If the economy is not expanding, the redistribution of income becomes a zero-sum game. And therefore, all the class struggle - and it becomes much more vicious.
Manmohan Singh
We have to walk on two legs. We have to create conditions in which manufacturing and services - the economy outside agriculture - move and move fast enough. And at the same time the working force that is available must have skills which will fit the kind of jobs which will be in demand.
Manmohan Singh
I am convinced the entrepreneurial spirit of the Indian people, if allowed to express itself freely in the marketplace, India will be all right.
Manmohan Singh
Democracies don't go to war.
Manmohan Singh
India's future lies in being an open society, an open polity, a functioning democracy respecting all fundamental human freedoms, accepting the rule of law and, at the same time, to emerge as a successful, internationally competitive market economy.
