For all the apparent bonhomie during the #ModiInAmerica visit the following stand out. 1) As critics gleefully pointed out #kamlaHarris tweeted the visit very late 2) #Modi did not wear a suit even once & only Indian ethnic dress 3) #NarendraModi refused to speak in English even
in the meeting with #JoeBiden using a interpreter 4) A hug was rejected & limited to holding hands 5) #Hindi, #Sanskrit, #IndianCulture, #INDIA INDIA INDIA at every stage with a determined espousal as the Mother of all #democracies, #Vaccine, #Chanakya, #DeenDayalUpadhyaya he
snubbed those who lectured with a slap 6) #NarendraModi bluntly told failures of world orgs without taking names about origin of vaccine & #Afghanistan 7) The most self confident assertion was when he said "When India grows, the world grows, When India reforms world transforms"
8) Royally ignored #Pakistan. All in all this was the most combative visit in a long time where the sparks were flying left & right even while everyone spoke of bonhomie. If anyone ever expected a timid & beleaguered PM given the challenges India is facing they were totally wrong
If anybody including the VeeP was thinking that lecturing India & Modi indirectly on #Hinduism #Hindutva would have any effect or that this identity would be down played, they were in for a confident surprise. This was the final snub to the India critics globally
