India's infrastructure has to be modernized, has to be expanded at a rate which will I think be consistent with the growth requirements.

The essence of Hinduism is that the path may be different, but the goal is the same.

As the largest and most developed democracies of Asia (India and Japan), we have a mutual stake in each other's progress and prosperity.

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.

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.

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