Editorial: Money is not everything



China's GDP growth may be much faster than India's. But according to our benevolent and mild mannered Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh, that is not all that is there to it. In a recent visit to the US, he has been quick to point out that respect for fundamental human rights, respect for the rule of law, respect for multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious rights are important values that one also has to consider. And this is why even though India's GDP growth might not be as good as the Chinese, Mr. Singh would certainly not like to choose the Chinese model which doesn't mind compromising on the above. He may have a point there. As they say, 'Money is not everything!'
