Nepalis living in London had gathered near 10 Downing Street where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his British counterpart David Cameron.
“India is a nation filled with strong youth”.

The “unique” large-scale blanket made up of more than 2,500 little squares of crochet created by Indian women across the United Kingdom in their own individual styles was undertaken by the Indian Ladies in United Kingdom (ILU) group, that claims to have nearly 5,000 Indian women, mostly 1st generation immigrants from India, as members.

Hundreds of protestors held placards and chanted slogans as thousands of people poured into Wembley Stadium to welcome controversial Indian prime minister Narendra Modi this afternoon.

I can say that after my experience during the last 18 months. In that time a lot of water has gone down the Thames. Asked if the personal equation between the PMs and the emphasis on the diaspora had sidelined more substantive bilateral issues, Ms. Patel emphatically denied it, making it clear that the new economic partnership between the two countries can not happen “overnight”.
“I would like to assure you that the dreams you have dreamt – and the dreams every Indian has dreamt – India is capable of fulfilling these dreams”.
“There is no reason for India to remain a poor country”.
