00:41Can you mark something?

00:46What a coincidence!

00:54It is a matter of immense pride and joy for me to be with all of you this evening.

01:10I thank Prime Minister Kamala Ji for her wonderful hospitality and kind words.

01:24I arrived a short while ago in this beautiful land of hummingbirds.

01:35And my very first engagement is with the Indian community here.

01:53It feels completely natural.

02:02After all, we are part of one family.

02:09I thank you for your warmth and affection.

02:23Friends, I know that the journey of the Indian community in Trinidad and Tobago is about courage.

02:41The circumstances your ancestors faced would have broken even the strongest spirits.

02:55But, they faced hardships with hope.

03:06They made problems with persistence.

03:12They left the Ganga and Yamuna behind, but carried the Ramayana in their hearts.

03:23They left their soil, but not their soul.

03:35They were not just migrants.

03:41They were messengers of a timeless civilization.

03:50Their contributions have benefited this country culturally, economically, and spiritually.

04:10Just look at the impact that you have all had on this beautiful nation.

04:20Kamala Prasad, Visayasar Ji, as the first women Prime Minister of this country.

04:29Her Excellency, Christine Karla Kangaluji, as the female president.

04:48Late, Sri Bhatadev Pandey, the son of a farmer, rose to become Prime Minister and a respected global leader.

05:09Eminent math scholar, Rudranath Kapil Dev.

05:22Music icon, Sundar Popo.

06:43Because you have doubled the success of this great nation.
