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.
