Narendra Modi will be sworn in as the 15th Prime Minister of India on 26 May (Monday). This swearing in is however without any precedent. Such a swearing in has never taken place before. This time all neighboring nations who are members of SAARC will send their heads of state or political heads to attend the event. Thus 3 Presidents, 3 Prime Ministers and a speaker of Bangladesh parliament will attend as special invitees.
The biggest event is the attendance of Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Pakistan who has decided, despite opposition of hardline Islamic groups, which had threatened dire consequences for him. Nawaz has called their bluff and in the bargain taken a giant step towards peace with India.
India and Pakistan havs fought 4 wars with each other during the last 67 years. One of the wars resulted in the breakup of Pakistan and creation of Bangladesh. Thus the stakes are high. Pakistan and India have many problems that defy solution, but this is the way forward. It also shows that Narendra Modi is leading from the front and that is a good omen for the sub-continent. I woll definitely watch the live transmission as it is beamed. It will be something to remember
