Modi urges Indian expatriates in Australia to invest back home

Sydney

LAST week Mick Jagger, this week Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Thousands of expatriate Indians thronged Sydney's Allphones Arena on Monday, many travelling 1,000 kilometres on a train dubbed the Modi Express, to clap and cheer India's best-known leader since independence figure Mahatma Gandhi. "I know that behind this affection lie expectations," Mr Modi told the excited crowd. "We want to create the India you are dreaming of."
