I think the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Manmohan Singh
Democracies don't go to war.

The first and foremost priority is to finish the unfinished task which the founding fathers of India set out for us at the time of our independence: to get rid of chronic poverty, ignorance, and disease, which have afflicted millions and millions of our people.
Manmohan Singh
Let me say that I think the economic history of the last 150 years clearly shows that if you want to industrialize a country in a short period, let us say 20 years, and you don't have a well-developed private sector, entrepreneurial class, then central planning is important.
Manmohan Singh
I think the Chinese do have visions of being a great power. And I think it's legitimate. And I don't see that that's a danger to us.
Manmohan Singh
In a country where employment opportunities are not growing fast enough, the fear of change tends to be very acute.
Manmohan Singh
Yes, I think India's economy always has been a mixed economy, and by Western standards we are much more of a market economy than a public sector-driven economy.
Manmohan Singh
We should put more money in health. We should put more money in devising credible social safety nets for the poor.
Manmohan Singh
The Chinese economy is growing at the rate of 9 percent the Indian economy growing at the rate of 8 percent - enormous I think opportunities for two-way flow of trade, technology and investment.
Manmohan Singh
We all know the epicentre of terrorism in the world today is Pakistan. The world community has to come to grips with this harsh reality.
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
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.
