People of India deeply love you: PM to Bush
Saturday, 27 September, 2008
"People of India deeply love you," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told United

and half years that I have been Prime Minister, I have been the recipient of
your generosity, your affection, your friendship. It means a lot to me and
to the people of India. When the history is written, I think it will be

our two democracies closer to each other. For 34 years, India has suffered
from a nuclear apartheid. We have not been able to trade in nuclear
material, nuclear reactions, and nuclear raw materials. And when this
restrictive regime ends, I think a great deal of credit will go to President
