Working together in helping nascent democracies in the task of reconstruction, in the task of development is another area where our two countries [India and the USA] can work together.

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

I am not very good at statistics. I am also a poor thinker.

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.

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.

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

Democracies don't go to war.
