Quote

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

India needs to come out of its socialist pattern of doing things on a rationing basis.

I feel that India lacks a level of philanthropy that is proportional to the wealth that is here, particularly among the top 5,000 industrialists and entrepreneurs.

There are no two countries with the same style of economic mechanism, with the same capitalism.

Much of the conventional analysis of India's stature in the world relies on the all-too-familiar economic assumptions. But we are famously a land of paradoxes, and one of those paradoxes is that so many speak about India as a great power of the 21st century when we are not yet able to feed, educate and employ all our people.

India does not need to become anything else. India must become only India. This is a country that once upon a time was called the golden bird.

India is a regional power. It does not need anything to establish it.

India has to be transformed into a developed nation, a prosperous nation and a healthy nation, with a value system.
