INDIA WAS SATISFIED



President Obama’s recent visit to India is being seen as another milestone in the long journey of friendship between the two countries. Although, U S and India being the two largest democracies of the world should have been natural partners in the global arena very long ago, but, because of different models of governance and geographical distance they took very long to come close.
It’s only in the 2000, during President Bill Clinton’s visit to India that the two countries came close to each other. This relationship was further strengthened by President George Bush’s memorable visit in 2006, when he signed the Civil Nuclear Agreement Treaty with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Although, not as significant as the previous two, but this visit of Obama has been seen as a reaffirmation of the faith, which the U S imposes on its latest friend.
Obama’s backing of India’s bid for the permanent membership at the U.N’s Security Council and terming Kashmir as an internal matter of India, are some of the positives which have been received positively by the Indian political class

 Apart from these significant announcements, the symbolic visit of Mumbai’s Taj Mahal hotel and meeting with the families of those who lost their lives in the 26/11 terrorist attack have struck a right chord with the common man also. The visit of Mumbai has also been significant for the simple reason that the U S wants to have a stronger trade and economic ties with India, Mumbai being the financial capital, it was no surprise that President Obama touched down here first before flying over to the capital.
