உரை....!

 Speech:

Yesterday, I said that you are our ambassadors. You have come from one union of states to another, serving as a bridge between these two great unions of states. You make us very proud because we understand what it meant for you to come here.

We recognize the difficulties and struggles you had to endure. It’s not easy. But when you came here, you came with humility, respect, and affection. You didn’t come here and say that the United States is inferior to us. Instead, you became a part of the United States.

I am sure you are proud of India and proud of the fact that you live in America.

There can't be two identities for you in the BJP system. You can't be Indian and American at the same time. That is what the fight is about and what we are trying to address in India.

We are saying: don’t spread hatred, spread love; don’t be arrogant, be humble; don’t disrespect people—respect people, traditions, religions, languages, and communities.
 
I am sure you deeply understand what I am trying to convey, and you practice it in your daily lives. In fact, if you didn’t, you wouldn’t be as successful as you are. That is what I wanted to say. I really appreciate that you came here. You will take American ideas and values back home and bring Indian values, traditions, and ideas to the United States. This is your role, and you will benefit both countries and both unions by doing this. It’s a win-win situation for both the United States and India.
