I think the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

The emergence of India as a major global power is an idea whose time has come.

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.

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.

China is very important. The future growth of China, China's influence is bound to rise.

I believe a large part of humanity will draw appropriate lessons from what is the wave of the future in the 21st century.

I think the modernization of Chinese economy and Chinese society is a prime concern.
