Abstract

As India celebrates its 70th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave his third annual address at the Red Fort in New Delhi on the morning of August 15th. Addressing a rapt audience, the Prime Minister delivered among one of his longest speeches. His speech, while it tactfully avoided hurling any major attacks on the opposition, speaking on recent national controversial issues, or covering the international facet of his governance, did not ignore the opportunity to raise the issues pertaining to Pakistan.
