India is the mother of democracy," said PM Modi.He said that India and US have made the test of friendship through the long and widening road that both countries have travelled."A lot has changed since I came here 7 summers ago. However, a lot has remained the same, like our commitment to deepen the friendship between India and the US," said PM Modi."Last year India celebrated 75 years of independence. Every milestone is important but this one was special. We celebrated a remarkable journey of our 75 years of freedom after thousand years of foreign rule in one form or another.
