Referring to India\u2019s large population, he said that the world grows when India grows, and transforms when India reforms, pointing to examples of the country\u2019s progress and impact: in the area of vaccines and pharmaceuticals, particularly to counter COVID, <strong>green technology (technology whose use is intended to mitigate or reverse the effects of human activity on the environment)<\/strong> and the promise of 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030, and poverty <strong>alleviation (The act of reducing something unpleasant)<\/strong>. He also <strong>enumerated (Determine the number or amount of) <\/strong>how many Indians had been provided water connections, banking access, insurance coverage, health services and homes, although his claim that these \u201call-inclusive\u201d development goals had been achieved only in the \u201clast seven years\u201d, struck a politically <strong>partisan (Devoted to a cause or party) <\/strong>note that was <strong>out of place (not suitable for a particular situation)<\/strong>. Moving to regional matters, Mr. Modi pointed to the contrast between India\u2019s actions and those of Pakistan and China in <strong>veiled (Muted or unclear) <\/strong>references. In an apparent message to Pakistan, he linked events in Afghanistan, where the Taliban have taken control, to the problem of \u201cregressive thinking\u201d that leads to the use of terrorism as \u201ca political tool\u201d. He also called for safeguarding the maritime sphere from the \u201crace of expansion and exclusion\u201d and referred to the need for investigating the \u201corigins of the coronavirus\u201d, subjects China is sensitive about. Addressing the UN directly for its own shortcomings, the PM said that time waits for no one, urging the UN to speed up the reforms process that has been <strong>flagging (Droop, sink, or settle from or as if from pressure or loss of tautness) <\/strong>for more than a decade, which would include an expanded Security Council. This, he explained, is the only way to restore the credibility of global governance institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Modi\u2019s strongest words came at the beginning of his speech, where he launched a defence of the state of Indian democracy, which has come in for some criticism over the past few years. He said India had been named the \u201cmother of democracy\u201d for its adherence to democratic values, symbolised by its diversity, pluralism, inclusivity, and equality, that allowed someone like him, who had once worked at his father\u2019s tea stall, to become the country\u2019s leader. The PM\u2019s words appeared to be a response to comments made during his Washington visit, where U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris stressed the need to strengthen democratic processes internally. Even as he addressed the UN, protesters outside criticised his government for actions against activists, NGOs, the laws on agriculture and citizenship, and incidents of <strong>lynching (Putting a person to death by mob action without due process of law) <\/strong>and mob violence. While the PM\u2019s commitment to India\u2019s \u201cgreat tradition of democracy\u201d was heartening, it will be measured not by words at the world body, but by answers and actions on the ground in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-po\/?refcode=2798&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Sep+28%2C+2021%3B+Day+148_280921_IBPSPM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=IBPSPM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IBPS_PO_210921-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"IBPS_PO_Mock Test\" class=\"wp-image-8488\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to learn new words on a daily basis?
