India has inspired millions of people around the world, whether through philosophy and theology, the power of civil disobedience, or the commitment to democracy. Indeed, as I travel the world as vice president, I have seen India’s global impact firsthand. In Southeast Asia, Indian-made vaccines have saved lives and livelihoods. On the continent of Africa, India’s longstanding partnerships support prosperity and security. And throughout the Indo-Pacific, India helps promote a free and open region.
