Modi US Visit: An Eminent Journalist Writes

Shekhar Gupta very well known journalist and TV anchor write on Modi's visit to US on UN Annual General Assembly Meet. 

In my own words..... 

The crux of the visit for the first time has shifted to business rather then petty issues. The euphoria created by his visit should be tempered stating the fact the globally stronger country leaders get more attention...as was the case with the Chinese and Russian heads of states.  Hence we have to be an economic powerhouse in order to come closer to them. Though highly successful, his achievement were much appreciated by Indian diaspora and those with interest in the country economically.       

Further Mr.Gupta states that we declare ourselves victorious in haste.  We are inclined to lay too much stress on few failures and suffer from depression as well as get elated by little bit of success. 

Since Indira Gandhi he is our globally best leader. Albeit India is growing fast the economy is minuscule compared to major power and on per capita basis it is dismal. 

The greatest threat that India is facing now is not the tilt to the left but more so because messy politics and the emergence of right wing. Both are antithesis for the goals which we wish to achieve. All the best India big brand, modern technology, education and entrepreneurship.      

I would further add that for US we have become a major arm purchase which is not the make in India campaign aims for.

But remember with the rising popularity as Mr.Gupta states, the warts gets publicity too, corruption of sickening level, crime against women, pollution, caste based discrimination, poor hygiene and yes our ban culture.
