country people diversity
Nowhere else you will find a country of India's diversity, of India's complexity, one billion people trying to seek their social and economic salvation in the framework of a democracy, in the framework of an open economy.
safety poor safety-net
We should put more money in health. We should put more money in devising credible social safety nets for the poor.
children thinking chinese
Because the Chinese insistence on one child, I think the proportion of older, non-working age population is going to rise sharply in China.
believe i-believe investment
India's saving rate will go up. India's investment rate will go up. And I believe that's a plus point.
gratitude thinking profound
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.
The emergence of India as a major global power is an idea whose time has come.
distance lying moving
The salvation of the world ultimately lies in moving towards universal nuclear disarmament, but that's a long distance away.
enough economy taxes
If the economy grows enough, fast enough, the tech system should be modernized so that the tax revenues rise fast enough also, and we should put more money in education.
wealth should
Those who create wealth should be shown the greatest respect.
safety rich poor
If the economy is growing fast, there is call for a distributing income from the rich to the poor to to put in place social safety nets.
men growth vision
Our vision is not just of economic growth, but also of a growth which would improve the life of the common man,
financial should goods
Protectionism has to be avoided. Protectionism is not only on goods but also in the area of services. Financial protectionism is also bad and should be avoided.
country thinking years
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.
believe i-believe multicultural
I believe whether it is the United States or Europe, they will all end up as multicultural societies.
