Modi told Indian-Americans “everything is fine” in India in nine languages. But is it?

Prime minister Narendra Modi proved again, at the Howdy, Modi! event, that he is a true showman. On Sept. 22, after an over two-hour-long cultural extravaganza and sharing the stage with US President Donald Trump at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Modi’s speech was dedicated to telling the massive gathering of Indian Americans how everything was just fine in India. Turning the title of the event into a question, the prime minister responded, “Bharat mein sab achha hai (Everything is great in India).” He then proceeded to repeat the phrase in eight other Indian languages—Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Bangla, among others.
