US President Barack Obama’s powerful address to the joint session of Indian Parliament telecast live across the globe Monday contained references to a number of things we Indians are proud of. Here’s all what he mentioned in his speech:

India is the world’s largest democracy;

There are three million Indian Americans;

India is beautiful and dynamic;

Farmers and women are the backbone of Indian society;

University students charting India’s future;

Indians are known for their hospitality;

India is not simply emerging; India has already emerged;

Indian civilization has been shaping the world for thousands of years;

Indians unlocked the intricacies of the human body and the vastness of our universe;

Our information age is rooted in Indian innovations—including the number zero;

India has expanded our moral imagination;

Indian religious texts summon the faithful to lives of dignity and discipline;

Indian poets had imagined a future “where the mind is without fear and the head is held high”;

I have always found inspiration in the life of Gandhiji and in his simple and profound lesson to be the change we seek in the world;

I might not be standing before you today, as President of the United States, had it not been for Gandhiji and the message he shared with America and the world;

India is a model to the world;

India’s greatest resource is the Indian people;

India is one of the engines of the global economy;

India has one of the world’s largest middle classes;

India’s richness of faiths was celebrated by Swami Vivekananda who visited my hometown of Chicago more than a century ago;

India has built institutions upon which true democracy depends;

Indian and US constitutions begin with the same revolutionary words—“We the people”;

India has a long history as a leading contributor to United Nations peacekeeping missions;

I look forward to a reformed U.N. Security Council that includes India as a permanent member;

Right to Information Act is empowering citizens in India;

India has been a leader in supporting democratic development and civil society groups around the world;

A Dalit like Dr. Ambedkar lifted himself up and penned the words of the Constitution that protects the rights of all Indians;

Every person living in a village in Punjab or the bylanes of Chandni Chowk…an old section of Kolkata or a new high-rise in Bangalore deserves the same chance to live in security and dignity, to get an education, to find work, and to give their children a better future;

Simple lessons contained in the collection of stories from Panchtantra have guided Indians for centuries;

The story of India is the story of America.

Jai Hind!
