What India Needs Most Is

I Have Always Regard Nonalignment As A Statement That India's Policies, Foreign Policy Will Be Guided By What I Describe As Enlightened National Interest. That We Will Make Judgments On An Independent Basis, With The Sole Concern Being What Is Enlightened India's National Interest. In That Sense, Nonalignment Remains As Relevant Today As It Was In The Early 1950s.

I Should Like To Express Our Profound Gratitude To The Americans Of Indian Origin. The Way They Have Conducted Themselves, The Way They Have Worked Hard To Carve Out A Niche For Themselves In The Silicon Valley, I Think This Has Also Given America A New Idea About What India Is Capable Of.

India Happens To Be A Rich Country Inhabited By Very Poor People.
