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.
The emergence of India as a major global power is an idea whose time has come.
running party believe
The Chinese have certain advantages. The fact that it's a single party government. But I do believe in the long run the fact that India is a functioning democracy committed to the rule of law. Our system is slow to move but I'm confident that once decisions are taken they are going to be far more durable.

I believe whether it is the United States or Europe, they will all end up as multicultural societies.

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.

India's saving rate will go up. India's investment rate will go up. And I believe that's a plus point.

India has, of course, aspirations of getting out of its poverty, ignorance and disease, which still afflict millions of people. But I do believe that we have something to offer to the rest of the world, including the United States.

I have always believed that the ultimate purpose of economic policies and development policy is to meet the basic needs of our people. And for that, we need a fast-expanding economy.
people giving chance
I sincerely hope that the difficulties that are there in Iraq and Iran can be resolved, that Iraq will see a new era of hope in which its people will enjoy a full sovereignty, and also the problem of terrorism with Iran can be resolved through dialogue, through giving diplomacy a chance.
I'm a small person put in this big chair.
believe people working-together
India is this great experiment of a billion people of such great diverse persuasions working together, seeking their salvation in the framework of a democracy. I believe it will have some lessons for all the multicultural societies.
What India needs most is a unified food law.
