Quote

I have to create in India a macroeconomic environment where the employment in aggregate can go up at a handsome rate. Once that happens, people losing jobs in one sector will not mean that they will become perpetually unemployed. From one sector, they can move on to other sectors.

Meaningful solutions to the problems of mass poverty that prevails in India I believe can only be found in the framework of an expanding economy.
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.

My vision is to work for the relationship between India and Pakistan which would be like the relation between Canada and the United States.

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.

I think whatever I've done, I hope I've earned a footnote in India's long and tortuous history.

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.

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.

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.

With the revolution in information technology, with the revolution in transport technologies, I think just geography has lost its all significance.

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.

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.

China is not I think a country which does not regulate, but there is a difference between the Chinese system and the Indian system.

We need multiculturalism, respect for diversity, tolerance, respect for diverse faiths.

The United States and India can work together.

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.

Our vision is not just of economic growth, but also of a growth which would improve the life of the common man.

We are a coalition government, and that limits our options in some ways. Privatization happens to be one such area.
