Excerpt from the Business World magazine.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Deals and debates
Many years ago, I met a senior official of the World Bank who had dealt with both India and South Korea in his official capacity. I asked him how interacting with the two countries was different. He thought for a while and said: "The Koreans always came looking for a deal. The Indians always came looking to win an intellectual debate."
