Modi's Vision for a Flourishing Democracy in India.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a joint meeting of Congress, celebrating the “bond between the world’s two great democracies” and noting that the United States has the “oldest” democracy, and India the “largest.” While many members of Congress gave Modi a warm welcome, some House Democrats skipped the prime minister’s speech, citing his record on human rights. Modi’s visit is the second time the 118th Congress hosted a world leader for a joint meeting.
