China and India will, separately and together, unleash an explosion of demand.

Along with opportunities, there also exist many other tricky and complex issues to be managed in India. These include tackling both policy-level challenges and infrastructure challenges.

India may be a land of over a 100 problems, but it is also a place for a billion solutions.

We are not facing China alone; we are facing China together with a lot of other people in the region.

I am firmly convinced that, in future years, China and India will join hands in playing a more active role in maintaining peace and stability in the region and the world at large and make due contribution to the cause of human progress and development.

If we dispense with some of our self-made boundaries, India can really take its place in the world as an economic power. It hasn't happened because we, sadly, don't look at ourselves as Indians but as Punjabis or Parsis, unlike the Americans. Don't make such boundaries.

I think the Sino-American relationship is the most important geo-strategic question facing us.

China has lunged into the 21st century, while India is still lurching toward it.

I think that there is a concern, a question mark, by people all around the world and governments all around the world, as to what China's intentions are.
