It’s time for PM Modi to get rid of his speechwriters

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made so many speeches lately that he has taken to saying the same thing wherever he goes.

I expected Modi's speech to American lawmakers would be to build on what he said last time he was in this same forum about overcoming the ‘hesitations of history’. But he mentioned this in passing.
