He celebrated the Indian-American culture and contributions to the strength of the United States from four million Indian Americans.
“They are titans of business; the biggest, the best pioneers of science; masters of the art; and innovation of technology like few people have been able to see no matter where you go anywhere in this universe,” he said.
