We should put more money in health. We should put more money in devising credible social safety nets for the poor.
Manmohan Singh
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

Manmohan Singh
India happens to be a rich country inhabited by very poor people.
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.

China's influence is bound to rise.
Manmohan Singh
I am not very good at statistics. I am also a poor thinker.
Manmohan Singh
Life is never free of contradictions
Manmohan Singh
Protectionism is a very real danger. It is understandable that in times of a severe downturn protectionist pressures mount but the lessons of history are clear. If we give in to protectionist pressures, we will only send the world into a downward spiral.
Manmohan Singh
I look upon India-U.S. nuclear cooperation as an act of historic reconciliation.
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.
