Topic Reading-Vol.778-5/29/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Narendra Modi sworn in as Indian prime minister.
What’s so historic or special about this sworn in ceremony of the 15th prime minster of India?
Is that because his party made a landslide victory at the largest-ever democratic election in history, or the new PM used to be a tea boy and is from a low-caste background? Both are true but there is another historic factor. He was attended his inauguration ceremony by his counterpart of the neighbor and also rival country. Surprisingly, both India and Pakistan became independent in the same year 1947, but neither country is attended by the other’s political leader to its sworn-in ceremony.
The country has been slow at modernizing the social practices, developing economy and improving living standards compared to China whose population is nearly the same as theirs. So the new PM is expected to make swift and dramatic changes
Enjoy reading and learning about India’s new leader who won the largest-ever democratic election in history.
