New Delhi:
President Barack Obama delivered a stirring speech at a Delhi townhall this morning.
Here are 10 big quotes from his speech:
India will succeed so long as it is not splintered on religious lines. Every person has the right to practice their religion how they choose.
Our nations are strongest when we see we are all God's children, all equal in his eyes. Sometimes I have been discriminated against on the basis of the colour of my skin.
Every woman should be able to go about her day - to walk the street, or ride the bus - and be safe and be treated with the respect and dignity that she deserves
You may have noticed I am married to a very strong and talented woman. Michelle is not afraid to tell me when I am wrong, which happens frequently. We have two beautiful daughters. I am surrounded by strong, smart women.
Secret Service won't let me ride a motorcycle, especially not standing on my head (referencing the BSF stunt riders at the Republic Day parade).
The world will be safer, more just place when our two democracies - largest and oldest - stand together. Both our countries have known the anguish of terror and we stand committed to the defence of our people.
More than a hundred years ago America welcomed a son of India-Swami Vivekananda. Swami Vivekananda helped bring Yoga to our country.
Senorita, bade bade deshon mein...you know what I mean (he quotes Dilwaale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge).
Michelle is a better dancer than I am. Sometimes this hurts my feelings.
Great matter of pride to see Indian women in the armed forces including the officer who led the Guard of Honour for me when I am arrived.
