The audience was made up mostly of Chinese students who gave me their complete attention. They were captivated by my delivery and awed by my gravitas. After my speech concluded and the applause died down, I was asked several intriguing questions by the audience members:
- What is the religious composition of India?
- Are there really cows on the street? (The girl asking this warned me beforehand that it would be a "cute" question.)
- Why does India have significantly more developed IT and bio tech sectors than China?
