#TrumpInIndia: Ahead of the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, Amnesty International India and @amnestyusa issue a joint statement:

amnesty.org.in/news-update/mo…
@amnestyusa "For decades, the U.S.-India relationship was anchored by claims of shared values of human rights and human dignity. Now, those shared values are discrimination, bigotry, and hostility towards refugees and asylum seekers,” - @MargaretLHuang
@amnestyusa @MargaretLHuang “The internet and political lockdown in #Kashmir has lasted for months & the enactment of CAA & the crackdown on protests has shown a leadership that is lacking empathy and a willingness to engage." - @Avinash_1_Kumar

Dear @NH_India this is an UNACCEPTABLE headline! Would Nehruji be happy with this? @NH_India, @INCIndia you must not allow this language . Be critical of #TrumpInIndia but not this way. President Trump is our guest & why are we running down India? #TrumpIndiaVisit !
I am going to request @INCIndia and @INCIndia volunteers who love the @INCIndia is this language about our country acceptable? If @NH_India allows such language are you okay with it? You need to be honest for the sake of our country & the party we support & vote .
Extremely happy and glad that @NH_India took off the headline after I spoke to many senior @INCIndia leaders who were very very upset. I hope this mistake won't be repeated .

Outside Sabarmati Ashram, kids from a nearby school have been sitting with India and US flags since 8 AM. An exasperated student tells me, "We had to come. Teacher told us to."
A bystander I spoke to wants Modi to be PM for 25-30 years. "If that happens, there won't be any need for Indian leaders to travel abroad. Everyone will come to us. We will have the dollar, they will have rupees," he proclaimed.

This is a thread of strange, wonderful things spotted during the #TrumpIndiaVisit - that's just about to kick off.

Exhibit 1

Exhibit 2

Some might say #TrumpIndiaVisit will be all about masking the reality - on trade, slums, and faces.
