India: Five unusual messages

India: Five unusual messages from Narendra Modi's speech






Narendra Modi has addressed Indians in his first Independence Day speech as prime minister. Over the years, I have heard many speeches being delivered from the ramparts of the historic Red Fort which most prime ministers have used to issue warnings Pakistan and for tedious grandstanding.


But Mr Modi used it to speak about the issues bothering Indians every day and in a break from tradition, he spoke extempore, without consulting any notes.

Five unusual messages stood out. It just remains to be seen if he can deliver.
