【New Delhi】As India celebrates its 70th Independence Day today (Aug 15), Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech stresses on self-sufficiency and the common man's progress.

The country will not yield to terrorism and extremism, asserts PM, asks youth to shun violance and return to mainstream.
○PM Narendra Modi looks back with pride on 70th Independence Day
【New Delhi】Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech, on the country’s 70th Independence Day, had the imprint of a smart chief executive offering a presentation to his shareholders about the progress made in his term so far, and how his record in implementing policies and schemes was far superior to the previous regime. Unlike his previous two speeches from the ramparts of the Red Fort, neither did Monday’s speech have any new big-ticket schemes nor policy initiatives that his government plans to take.
○Modi's Independence Day address: one speech, two messages
【New Delhi】In his third Independence Day address to the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was intent on coming across as an able doer, and not a mere talker.
Midway through his term, he was probably conscious that mere words would not have the same effect they had at the beginning of his prime ministerial stint. After stating that he would not list out the achievements of his government as it would take a whole week to do, he proceeded to do just that. He reeled out details of quicker delivery of government services, wider coverage of Aadhaar, curbing of inflation, more toilets in villages and rural electrification, among other things. The message he seemed to seek to convey was that he only wanted to get things done, rather than bother with getting credit for his achievements.
But the Independence Day address was not meant merely for domestic consumption. While Mr. Modi was silent on the violence in Kashmir, he had a lot to say about attacks on Balochs in Pakistan. The warning sent out was that if Pakistan continues to interfere in Kashmir, India can do likewise, making an issue over the violence in Balochistan.
