Barack Obama arrived in India on Jan 25 becoming the first US president to make two official visits to India during his tenure.

Indian Premier Narendar Modi and US President Obama, later during the day announced they had reached an agreement to provide civilian nuclear technology to India that was signed in 2008 but had been held up by US concerns over liability in the event of a nuclear accident.

During his visit to India, Obama also became the first US president to attend the spectacular military and cultural display in a sign of the nations' growing closeness.

This kind of practice and journalism if both nation start, it will bring a sea change in both country's heart. Here in dawn itself reading some articles and journalists I was filled with hatred, but at other hand some articles and journalists make me realize love always wins, and far far more stronger than anything in world, and suddenly I feel so pacified. I need to do introspection on my feelings. thanks for this article and friends here enjoying it and giving good comments.

Obama received a cultural welcome with the jhappi and firm long handshake (handshake was similiar to the one with NS hmmm.) but from then onwards it was all business from exchange of formalities to marketing (show and pomp), it was very obvious just like modi's attire (i liked the marketing part of the attire as well with the bling as NaMo's name on the pinstripes)

India's good relationships with USA are not against Pakistan. The more we know about each other, these stupid barriers would fall down. My Pakistani brothers please share and appreciate. You can also see a lady officer leading the guard of honour. These are just symbols that yes we are moving forward. There are only small differences, Modi is dead honest, comes from humble background. Lets hold love and respect for each other and the whole world would envy us (India and Pakistan)
