US President Barack Obama concludes his three-day visit to India on Tuesday but on the last day of his historic stay in India he addressed an audience comprising Delhi University students at the Town Hall of Siri Fort Auditorium.

About 2000 people, including activists and students, gathered to hear US President Obama who began his speech shortly after 11 am and began with a Namaste. 
First Lady Michelle Obama was also at the venue. He reiterated that the relationship between the two countries is one of the most defining one of the century. He said the visit opens a new chapter in the relationship of the two countries. 

He expressed his happiness to be visiting the land of Gandhi who had inspired Martin Luther King Jr. He also mentioned about Swami Vivekanandas Chicago visit 

Here are the top quotes by the US President

Senorita, bade bade deshon mein...you know what I mean (he quotes Dilwaale Dulhaniyee Le Jaayenge).

I bring the friendship of the American people, bahuth dhanyawad

Michelle is a better dancer than I am. Sometimes this hurts my feelings.

Great matter of pride to see Indian women in the armed forces including the officer who led the Guard of Honour for me when I am arrived.

India will succeed so long as it is not splintered on religious lines. Every person has the right to practice their religion how they choose.

Every woman should be able to go about her day - to walk the street, or ride the bus - and be safe and be treated with the respect and dignity that she deserves

Our nations are strongest when we see we are all God's children, all equal in his eyes.  Sometimes I have been discriminated against on the basis of the colour of my skin.

You may have noticed I am married to a very strong and talented woman. Michelle is not afraid to tell me when I am wrong, which happens frequently.  We have two beautiful daughters. I am surrounded by strong, smart women.

The world will be safer, more just place when our two democracies - largest and oldest - stand together.  Both our countries have known the anguish of  terror and we stand committed to the defence of our people.

More than a hundred years ago America welcomed a son of India-Swami Vivekananda.   Swami Vivekananda helped bring Yoga to our country.
