Lauding the Indian diaspora, Mr. Modi said that the community has spread the fragrance of Indian values by living them
The U.S. will be a key partner in India’s growth journey over the coming 25 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said, as he expressed hope that the celebration of 75 years of India’s Independence at the U.S. Capitol would become an important milestone in friendship between the two nations.
“The word India represents many things simultaneously - a modern democratic republic, a diverse nation, an ancient civilisation and a cultural consciousness not limited by geography or time,” Mr. Modi said in a message to the Indian-American community as they gathered in Washington to celebrate Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.
The global Indian is an excellent example of how one can connect with India through many of these dimensions at the same time, he said in his message on September 15.
“As India aims high and pursues important goals in its Amrit Kaal over the coming 25 years, the United States of America will be a key partner in this journey. I am positive that this celebration will become an important milestone in the wonderful friendship between our two nations,” he said.
“India is celebrating 75 years of freedom. This freedom was won in a unique way, championing the best of human values. India has, therefore, been a source of inspiration for anyone who loves the ideals of peace and freedom,” Mr. Modi wrote.
Lauding the Indian diaspora, he said that the community has spread the fragrance of Indian values by living them.
“Members of our diaspora have always been admirable ambassadors for our nation. They have spread the fragrance of Indian values by living them - respecting all cultures, mingling seamlessly and enriching societies with their unique contributions,” Mr. Modi said.
