00:00I was overwhelmed by the building. You know, I'm an engineer and I couldn't believe the structure.

00:07I just thought it was just unbelievably well done, so beautiful, wonder of the world.

00:14How was your experience at Ayodhya Ram Mandir?

00:16How was your experience at Ayodhya Ram Mandir?

00:19Yesterday Ayodhya at Ram Mandir.

00:22How was your experience?

00:23Well, you know, that was a very spiritual experience.

00:26I was overwhelmed by the building.

00:29You know, I'm an engineer and I couldn't believe the structure.

00:33I just thought it was just unbelievably well done, so beautiful, wonder of the world.

00:41But inside, of course, it was very spiritual and you could feel it, you know, and you feel blessed, you know, that I was able to be part of that.

00:53And I know the people with me said the same thing to me, you know.

00:56I can't believe that I've been so fortunate.

00:58It was made in just four years.

01:00Sorry?

01:01It was made in just four years.

01:03Yes, I know it was built.

01:04I asked that they built so far in four years.

01:07That's amazing.

01:08Hard to believe, actually.

01:09And, you know, so it's beautiful.

01:13It's absolutely beautiful.

01:14I can't wait to see it completed, you know, it must be wonderful when it's completed with the gardens.

01:21And I'd love to see some of the, you know, statues and things.

01:27I don't know, maybe I'm different.

01:28I'd like to see them painted, you know, in color.

01:32But, well, we'll see.

01:36Adam, sir.

01:37India is now the fourth largest economy in the world.

01:40Are you looking after what?

01:42Invest more in India in different sectors, not only, you know, renewable energy, but other sectors also, like technology, IT and other?

01:51Well, you know, India is the fourth largest GDP in the world.

01:57Everybody's investing or taking something out of India.

02:00So, it's, you know, it's not as though this is going to happen.

02:03It's happening all the time.

02:05You know, India is very much a part of the modern world now.

02:09And, you know, in the countries that I live in, you know, we are using Indian products every day.

02:16We are seeing Indian vehicles every day.

02:18You know, Indian restaurants everywhere.

02:22So, I don't think you have anything to worry about, you know.

02:26I'm amazed how you, I look at the cities.

02:29I can't believe how good your engineers must be to get water, electricity and everything to everyone in these, you know, such a place like Delhi.

02:39It's absolutely amazing.

02:40I would love to spend half an hour with them and hear how they do it.

02:44But, you know, you have nothing to be ashamed of in India.

02:48Sir, one more question.

02:50Indian Prime Minister has a vision of develop India.

02:53Right now, we are not a developing country, but Indian Prime Minister has a vision of India will be a developed country by 2047.

03:00How will you look towards it?

03:01Because now we are the fourth largest economy, going to beat Germany, which is the third largest economy, coming two years.

03:07So, can we become a developed country before 2047?

03:11Do you think we become a superpower before 2047 under the vision of Prime Minister Modi?

03:18Well, you know, India is already an economic superpower.

03:23So, I would say it's – I don't like measuring things in superpowers.

03:28I would say the influence of a country and the things it has to share are very important to the rest of the world.

03:35In this country, I notice people are extraordinarily friendly towards one another.

03:40They seem to care a lot about each other.

03:43I'm living in the West where, to a large extent, a lot of those sort of things have been thrown by the wayside.

03:50And spirituality has sort of drained out a lot of the West, which is not good at all.

03:56And coming here, it's wonderful.

03:58I believe – and my children, my family, we are God-believing people.

04:04And so, we would like – I would like to see the same enthusiasm in the so-called Western world as I see here.

04:14Because a lot of people there have lost their way.
