Manmohan Singh
Democracies don't go to war.

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
A politician before he can become a statesman has to remain in office long enough.
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
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
With the revolution in information technology, with the revolution in transport technologies, I think just geography has lost its all significance.

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 believe that without looking at each other as rivals or as competitors, in a democratic India, operating in the framework of an open economy, an open society has, I think, some significance for developing countries, not only in Asia but outside Asia.
Manmohan Singh
Unity and secularism will be the motto of the government. We can't afford divisive polity in India.
