A speech at San Jose's SAP Center concluded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's whirlwind trip to California. Modi spent the weekend in Silicon Valley, meeting with the state's top political leaders and visiting the campuses of tech giants including Facebook and Google. Not all of the Bay Area's Indian community cheered Modi's visit. Outside of Sunday's speech, about 500 demonstrators protested his stances on climate change, censorship and gay rights.
