<p>"Over 140 crore Indians are driving this resurgence of India. They dream big, make commitments, and then turn them into reality," he said.</p>

<p>While addressing the Indian diaspora, the Prime Minister also mentioned India's victory in the Men's T20 cricket World Cup that ended the 13-year ICC trophy drought for the Indian cricket team.</p>

<p>"Everyone here must have celebrated India's T20 World Cup win, but the true story lies in the incredible journey the team took to get there.

This success is driven by the immense potential of its 1.4 billion citizens and the talent of its diaspora around the world.</p>
