In September this year, Prime Minister Modi visited the US and sought
to repair a strained relationship between India and the US. The two-day
meeting with Obama did produce some agreements, including the renewal of
a 10-year defense cooperation framework, a pact to cooperate on
maritime security and several clean-energy initiatives. And as Obama
intensifies the American campaign against the Sunni militant group known
as the Islamic State, the two agreed to improve their counterterrorism
cooperation and intelligence sharing.

U.S. Faces Problems With India's New Prime Minister Candidate
That was a news two years ago. Modi's love for America, perhaps, a
sitting duck-presidency of Barack Obama, has not grown or diminished.
What media denies in their editorials is the fact that after a prolonged
war in Afghanistan, US is, finally, pulling out. A symbolic military,
in just advisory capacity may remain.
Pakistan has joined hands with Putin's Russia. A slap on Modi's face. In
BRICS meetings in Brazil, Modi, as his self-promoting style, declared
Vladimir Putin, his closest friend. In Australian G20 summit, Putin was
almost kept away by other members. So much so, Putin left early.
Ukraine is a thorn in Putin's side and he knows about it. US and
European powers want Putin to solve that problem.
Let's take a step back. Modi has many problems. Let Modi stop, at least
one single problem. Take suitable action, that is not a face saving nor
anti-Hindu. Demolish the so called 'Godmen' not just one from Hisar,
US, under Obama, has seen the extremes. Recession, was the least part of
Obama's problems. He survived, if that means, he is still the
How far Modi would go, if small and large problems he created would
accumulate and keep him moribund?
All glory be to our prime minister. Not before he makes a progressive
moves. Modi is a fish, big or small, depends upon my view or those of
his vulgar fans, in a mud. I hope he find some way to reach the water,
before quitting his dream-world.
