India is proud of its 32-million-strong worldwide diaspora and it must continue to counter baseless narratives about the country as its ambassadors, said Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar in his address at a community reception here on Friday.
Mr. Dhankhar, who is in the U.K. on a two-day visit to attend the Coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey in its capital, focussed his address on the great growth strides being made by India and its success story as a "democracy functioning at an unmatched level".
He spoke of the country's "Amrit Kaal" achievements under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking 75 years of India's independence and highlighted the government's target to become the third-largest economy by the turn of the decade.
