1
Thank you, Mr. President.
2
Namaskar and good evening to all of you.
3
We're debating India's path tonight, and I could wrap my argument in one sentence borrowed from the White House.
4
Go to New Delhi and see it for yourself.
5
But I've been given more time than that, so I will tell you what I see.
6
Earlier this week, I was on my way to the Delhi airport.
7
There was a lot of traffic.
8
At one point, the car stopped.
9
on the roadside I saw two vendors one was selling fruit
10
the other was selling coconut water what caught my attention was not what they were selling
11
but how they were selling it
12
both had a QR code prominently displayed
13
and every single customer walked up to them scanned this QR code
14
and paid for their purchase every single one of them For me, this is a picture of today's India.
15
It shows three developments, three of the many developments I shall list out tonight.
16
Number one is financial inclusion.
17
Both the vendors had a bank account linked to their mobile phone.
18
Number two is internet or mobile penetration, what we call digital India.
19
It was 15% nine years back.
20
It's 48% today.
21
And number three is the airport traffic.
22
It just keeps swelling, even though we are at the receiving end.
23
We see what it shows.
24
From 67 million nine years back to almost double now.
25
To me, these things signify the path that India is on.
26
The previous speakers have defined the motion well, but in case the evening drinks have kicked in, let me repeat.
27
this house believes Modi's India is on the right path.
28
And how do you determine if the path is right or wrong?
29
You look at numbers, data, surveys, reports.
30
I shall refer to all of these as I make my arguments.
31
But I also want to dwell on something that's more personal, more important, I think, yet unquantifiable.
32
I'm talking about the experience of living in today's India.
33
I have lived in many Indias.
34
The weary India where exciting policies and positions were abandoned.
35
Self-doubting India where decisions were taken based on global opinion.
36
And today a more confident India where the world comes for leadership and inspiration.
37
You cannot put a premium on that.
38
Indians are more prosperous at home and hence more confident abroad.
39
Let me also tell you what I saw at the airport here in London, at the immigration counter.
40
I saw Indians proudly flaunting their passport, none of the fidgeting or self-doubt of the last century.
41
And if I may add, the immigration officer almost looked impressed.
42
She was either a fan of India or just worried that she was holding up one of Rishi Sunak's relatives.
43
We are proud of what we share with the world.
44
Bollywood, Masala Chai, yoga, cricket.
45
India today is a soft power giant.
46
At the same time, India is not a timid democracy that tolerates terrorism or betrayals.
47
When Pakistani terrorists attacked Kashmir's Pulwama, India carried out surgical strikes on Balakot.
48
Today's India is not a pushover country, it's a world power, denied.
49
Today, invasions and colonialism are part of our history, not our identity.
50
We are shaped by years of subjugation, not defined by them.
51
We are excited about our global responsibilities, not wary of them.
52
This change in confidence comes from growth at home.
53
Which brings me to the numbers.
54
I'll start with India's welfare state system and how it has fared in the past decade.
55
110 million new gas connections, 470 million bank accounts, 220 million insurance beneficiaries.
56
And to be fair, the welfare concept is not new to India.
57
It's been there for a while.
58
What's new is the approach.
59
It's not just about putting more money in the pocket, it's about empowering people.
60
And the result, once again, the evidence shows in the numbers.
61
India's per capita income has gone from 86,000 rupees in 2014 to 172,000 rupees now.
62
It has doubled.
63
And a big reason for that is the falling inflation from more than 8% nine years back to less than 6% today.
64
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is in the middle of a global cost of living crisis.
65
Foreign direct investment is at its highest level.
66
Foreign trade is at its highest level.
67
The growth mantra is connectivity.
68
And I don't have to tell the British that the first thing you did in your colonies was build roads and railways.
69
Our growth story has been about two Indias.
70
The urban India, the bustling urban India, and a sluggish rural India.
71
Today we are trying to connect the two.
72
We are building more than 38 kilometers of highway every day, which is 50 percent more than what it was seven years ago.
73
The number of airports has doubled since 2014.
74
The total capacity at seaports has doubled.
75
This connectivity is what is driving India forward.
76
You mentioned GST.
77
Our constitution calls India a union of all states, which is a great tribute to our diversity.
78
But it also meant 28 different state economies, different taxes, different trade practices.
79
this government tried to unify it to create a single Indian market.
80
It took time.
81
But the result is this today.
82
Tax collection is at its highest ever.
83
The number of taxpayers has doubled since 2017.
84
I have a lot of data I could go on, but you get the drift.
85
So now I'm going to talk about India's global position.
86
Because your path is also about your role in the world.
87
Are you a troublemaker or a consensus builder?
88
I think there is no doubt as to where India stands.
89
India is a member of the Quad and the SCO.
90
India is invited to the G7, but is also a member of the BRICS.
91
India rubs shoulders with the West, but also leads the global South.
92
Which other country can claim to juggle these roles?
93
And how does India do it?
94
Because we are not trying to play an outsized role in the world, we are trying to play the right role.
95
In the Russia-Ukraine war, India has not taken sides.
96
And I know it confuses a lot of people here, but back home the thinking is very clear.
97
It is not in our national interest to pick sides and make things worse.
98
India has excellent relations with Russia and the West, and we want to preserve that.
99
It's like when your two good friends fight.
100
Do you pick sides and make things worse?
101
Or do you try to talk sense to them and bridge the divide?
102
I know what a good friend would do.
103
I see what India is doing.
104
India has always been or always tried to be a part of the solution, not the problem.
105
Look at our neighborhood policy.
106
When Sri Lanka was sinking, India provided assistance worth $4 billion,
107
no strings attached, no grudges held for Colombo's proximity with China.
108
A lot of people say that India is losing control of South Asia.
109
I say South Asia was never India's to control.
110
New Delhi is building relations based on mutual respect and equality.
111
And the results show beyond government interactions.
112
Countries like Nepal and Bhutan are using India's online payment systems.
113
Students from the neighborhood come to India for training, grants and scholarships.
114
This government has aced what we call Buddhist diplomacy.
115
It is leveraging India's position as a cradle of Buddhism.
116
All these initiatives have made India popular.
117
The world stands with us against Chinese expansionism.
118
The global south looks up to us for leadership.
119
The global north looks up to us for partnership.
120
I think that's the hallmark of great diplomacy and statecraft when you're loved and respected in all quarters, more importantly, when you're trusted in all quarters.
121
India repaid that trust during the COVID-19 pandemic, where the world forgot about morals and globalization.
122
India sent 24 crore vaccines to 100 countries.
123
And you saw the result of that in Papua New Guinea.
124
When Prime Minister Modi landed there, their prime minister touched his feet.
125
This was not a personal gesture to a leader.
126
This was a vote of thanks to the entire country.
127
Let's talk about domestic affairs.
128
Kashmir was brought up.
129
This government abrogated Article 370.
130
Today, Kashmir's economy is doing much better.
131
1.8 crore tourists visited the valley in the last year.
132
That's the highest ever in Indian history, 1.8 crore.
133
Kashmir is getting its first-ever foreign direct investment and that too from a company in the UAE.
134
But Since this is Kashmir, let's not limit ourselves to finances.
135
Let's talk about security.
136
Terror attacks in the valley have almost halved in the last few years.
137
The numbers are staring in your face.
138
Security is better, economy is better, Kashmir is better.
139
Plus, we have corrected a historical wrong imposed on India.
140
Let me also address something else that was raised by the opposite side, and that is religious intolerance.
141
it's easy to quote anecdotal evidence and paint an entire country as intolerant
142
but random elements and sporadic incidents do not speak for india
143
or its leadership or its government only policies do
144
and i'll tell you about those policies more muslim students got scholarships in modi's first term than the previous government.
145
I'm talking about two million more Muslim students.
146
If the idea was to marginalize them, why give them more scholarships?
147
Look at the government's Hajj policy.
148
Prime Minister Modi held personal talks with the Saudi regime to increase India's Hajj quota.
149
In 2014, it was 136,000.
150
By 2019, it was more than 200,000.
151
Again, if the idea was to marginalize Muslims, Why increase the Hajj quota?
152
This government abolished triple talaq.
153
Would you call it reform or repression?
154
Let me also tell you what a Pew study found in 2021.
155
It runs counter to every argument that will be made here tonight.
156
It found that 89% of all Muslims and Christians in India say they are free to practice their religion.
157
I'll repeat, 89% of all surveyed Muslims and Christians, but no, let's build on perceptions and anecdotes, not on facts.
158
I would also point you to all the social schemes, the bank accounts, the gas connections, the insurance policies.
159
They're available to all citizens of all religions.
160
Does that mean India cannot do better?
161
Absolutely not.
162
Even one incident of marginalization is one too many, but how would you judge an entire country's path?
163
In fact, it struck me when I was invited for this event, why would Oxford University be interested in debating the path of Modi's India?
164
Because India has defied Western predictions.
165
It's the world's largest democracy charting its own course.
166
India today has shed the burden of trying to comply with Western constructs.
167
No amount of lecturing or virtue signaling is shaking India's confidence, and that is what unsettles critics.
168
There are hit-and-run experts who have no accountability who make pronouncements based on their political leanings to create an anti-India narrative.
169
GDP growth won't touch 5%.
170
There was corruption in the Rafale deal.
171
the government was snooping in opposition parties using Pegasus.
172
All of these make for juicy headlines.
173
And they make it look like everything is wrong in India.
174
But when a Supreme Court investigation finds no wrongdoing, when India's growth crosses 7%, who is questioning these experts?
175
And an 85% Hindu majority Karnataka votes out the BJP.
176
Is the West then lauding India's secular credentials?
177
You see, to judge a country's path, you have to be able to separate agenda-driven narrative from facts.
178
In conclusion, let me say this.
179
For any country in the world, there is always a wrong path.
180
Enough dictators and autocrats have shown us, but there is no single right path.
181
Britain has its own right path.
182
India has its own right path.
183
As long as democracy is respected, as long as the constitution is respected, I would say to each their own.
184
It is wrong to judge one country on the parameters of another.
185
And that has been the beauty of India since 2014.
186
We've uplifted 140 million people out of poverty.
187
We did so while conducting free and fair elections, dozens of them.
188
We did so while protesting, debating and dissenting.
189
And finally, I think the hallmark of a right direction is also public approval.
190
Do the people think you're on the right path?
191
The people of India answered that question in 2019.
192
Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
