President Barack Obama, during his address at the Siri Fort auditorium on Tuesday, would speak on how to tap the energy of the people of India and the US, and to turn that into positive progress on the issues that matter in people’s lives.
Addressing a 2,000-strong audience at the Siri Fort auditorium on the third and final day of his visit to India, President Barack Obama spoke on the future of India-U.S ties.
Here are some of the highlights
1 Nations are more successful when their women are successful. Every daughter is as important as a son. Incredible to see all the women in the Indian armed forces.
2 The dreams of those who do menial jobs are just as worthy as ours. Luckily we live in countries where they can dream. In India and US, the grandson of a cook can be President, son of a dalit as president, tea-seller a Prime Minister.
3 Every person has the right to practice his faith without any persecution, fear or discrimination. India will succeed so long it is not splintered on religious lines.
4 India and U. S. can work on vaccines to ensure no child dies of preventable disease.
5 In recent years, India has lifted more people from poverty than any other country.
6 India and U.S are among few nations to have sent space ships to both Mars and Moon.
7 I would love more American students coming to India than Indian students coming to America.
8 Every Indian should celebrate the success of Shahrukh Khan, Mary Kom, Milkha Singh equally, not by colour or religion.
9 The US supports India's inclusion as a permanent member in the UN Security Council.
10 We are all beautiful flowers from the same garden. We believe in the promise of India.
