A year after his enormous victory in the national election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to a huge crowd of cheering Indians in Shanghai, and reflected on his government's term. "Just a year ago, you would have been eager to know the results of the elections in India," he said, referring to May 16, 2014.
"The time is changing at a fast pace. Nobody would have wondered, that in China, so many Indian citizens will be living a peaceful, happy life," the PM said in his speech.
