Modi�s Independence Day message to Pakistan In India, the trend has been for the Prime Minister to mention Kashmir and Pakistan in the Independence Day speech. Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not refer to Pakistan or Kashmir in his speech at all. By deviating from the established norm he, very rightly, demonstrated the insignificance of the neighbouring country in the new internal course being charted by India; he also indicated that India does not consider Kashmir to be any different from the other regions of the country. By demonstrating a new confidence with regard to Kashmir, the Prime Minister has heralded a new level of integration of the region with the Indian Union.
