Tracing India's Journey Through PM Modi's Independence Day Speeches · NDTV

Every year on August 15, India celebrates its Independence Day.

The leader of India, called the prime minister, gives a big speech from a famous old fort called the Red Fort.

A person named Amit Malviya wrote an article about these speeches.

He says that in the old days, the prime minister talked about simple problems, like not having toilets or electricity.

Now, he says, the speeches are about fancy things like computer chips and rockets to space.

Chips are tiny parts that make phones and computers work.

The article says many people in India are no longer poor because the government helped them.

It also talks about women becoming leaders and business owners.

There is a plan to build many new chip factories.

The article is happy about how India has changed, but remember, the writer works for a political party, so it is one person's viewpoint.
