The leader of India has some animal friends who live in his garden.

Every morning, he feeds cows and peacocks before starting his day.

One morning, he had to leave early to go to a big, old fort for India's birthday party.

The animals seemed to know he was leaving early and came to say goodbye.

He filmed the moment and shared it on a picture app.

India's birthday is called Independence Day, and this year was the 80th one.

At the fort, he gave a very long speech about helping young people.

He promised them free classes, computer and robot training called AI, and a search for sports talent.

He talked about young people more than fifty times in his speech.

He wants to show that he cares about the country's students and teenagers.
