"Democracies Matter And Democracies Deliver," PM Modi Tells US Congress | Read

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the joint sitting of the  US Congress today flagged not only the shared values of democracy, equality and diversity shared by the two nations, but also flagged  India's fast-growing economy, rapid progress from colonial days and women's contribution to it. He also spoke of the country's rapid digitisation, its commitment to environment and its culture of "sharing our modest resources with countries that need it the most". Democracy, PM Modi said, is one of the "sacred shared values" of India and the US and drew parallels from the two countries that brought the House to its feet several times.
