ViruRulez Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Manmohan Singh's first state visit to US at the White House with Obama and family is being shown. It is shown on CNN IBN in India right now. The national anthems have been played.
ViruRulez Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 Obama trying to improve his ties with India even more with a grand dinner I heard. Obama speaking about the visit now.
riya Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Manmohan Singh looks like a bride:haha:.Come on PM atleast look at Obama and acknowledge him.
ViruRulez Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 Obama terming India as the leader in Asia and over the world. :adore: Great speech and it seems US is now determined to increase their ties with India to a higher level. :adore:
riya Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 It makes me really proud as an Indian the kind of respect US giving to our PM.He is being honoured with first state dinner.It is obvious that US has tremendous amount of respect about our democracy.
riya Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 That was a short sweet humble speech by Manmohan Singh.
Guest Hiten. Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 It makes me really proud as an Indian the kind of respect US giving to our PM.He is being honoured with first state dinner.It is obvious that US has tremendous amount of respect about our democracy. ..but it is entirely different question whether we actually practice democracy. Our PM was boasting about our "growth with values", I don't know who was he trying to fool here. Anyone who would pick up Indian newspaper will read Bal Thackeray's threats to anyone going against him and his vaanar jaati sena. What has our government done to stop such hooliganism ? Sachin Tendulkar without a doubt our country's biggest icon faces threats from such goons, who are we "aam janta" to speak against these thugs ? And our problems don't start/stop in Maharashtra it actually widespreads throughout our country where politicians take advantage of regionalism/religion biasness et al. Talk about living in a shell.

ViruRulez Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 It makes me really proud as an Indian the kind of respect US giving to our PM.He is being honoured with first state dinner.It is obvious that US has tremendous amount of respect about our democracy. Our PM is the first world leader to be given an official state reception since Barack Obama began his presidency in January. :isalute: respect ? its pure business , they need us more than we need them . obama looks very sly to me , not trust able I agree to some extent. They need us and we also need them to some extent. So, it is pure business and it would be more fruitful than a pretended friendship. US is an existing superpower and India is an emerging superpower. In a few decades, India and US would be the two democracies to be within the world's top 3 economies (considering China remains communist) and hence this relationship would be a long term relationship. So, both countries would like to maintain friendly terms for sure. But Obama and US also looks for their own benefits and that is for sure. So, we should also look for our own benefit.
