Tulsi Gabbard, Ted Cruz Among 60 US Lawmakers To Attend PM Modi's Event

Over 60 prominent US lawmakers, including first American-Hindu Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and Indian-American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, will attend the "Howdy Modi!" mega diaspora event in Houston to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

On a side note, it kind of bugs me how many mistakes the above article made. Greg Abbot is the Governor of Texas, not a lawmaker, and Eliot Engel is not the governor of New York. Could NDTV really not get those basic facts right?

Yes, that would be some good publicity for him. But the real deal will be done behind the scenes. Texas is the biggest energy producer in the US, and plenty of energy companies are eager to ink major deals with India. That is why both of texas' senators and it's governor will be there, they all have close ties to the oil industry. Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

About 86% of Indian Americans voted for hiliary in last election.

True. That could change though. Especially considering how hostile to India the left wing of the democratic party has become. Also, Indians in the us are wealthier than average, so they have likely benefitted from Trump's tax cuts and his other policies.

Personally, as a small- government pro-liberty conservative, I would never vote for most Democrats.

The problem with the American administration is that they have no choice.

They keep pushing India to be something big and all they manage to do is to produce more movies. When I was young and it must be 20 years ago I remember the Economist magazine front page title of rising India or Indian tiger or something. After decades of all kinds of push, support and pampering India remains far behind even tiny Scandinavian countries.

When Pakistan was at the forefront of war against USSR we were showered attention and White House was wide open. Now that we have developed our own brains and refuse to be under the USA influence, India is more than willing to replace us.

Americans know nothing works better for Indianthan some Bollywood style singing and dancing and showering some attention.
Theyvare preparingvthe paper tiger to face the Chinese dragon...... so far tiger has no claws or teeth.
India being India is plying on both sides .

Hopefully the Americans will see India for what it really is .... a paper tiger hungry to send 100000 Indians after H1B visas and offering nothing in return.

USA is currently the largest exporter of oil. It has the largest untapped and tapped oil reserves and under Trump it is pushing to decimate OPEC. After stopping India from buying Iranian oil they now want to offer India their own oil and that too on permanent basis.
Expect more singing and dancing ...

Funny how that "paper tiger", has already countered the dragon at various fronts. Guess the dragon is also made of paper

Anyway, oil and trade deals will be the main outcome of modi's visit, ans modi and Trump will be able to score some major political points.

 

[Zeeman]

Please enlighten me with few examples .

A country of 1.4 billion achievements are limited to producing most movies in the world, manipulating growth figures , bullying neighbours and becoming slave to who ever offers them some visas .... indeed great Tiger is roaring.

Childish I would say. In response to Imran Khan. You had a rally, I will also have one. Modi needs to be questioned about India involvement in Kashmir.

It is important to remember that China still has not been able to upgrade its road in disputed territory, and has built military infrastructure in its own territory to save face. India was able to occupy its territory for months and all China could do is issue warnings. That speaks for itself.

Here is a good analysis by the SCMP of how India is checking Chinese expansion in the SCS, South Asia, ASEAN, and other regions.

India challenging China’s South China Sea influence with regional outreach

India and Russia have agreed to launch a maritime route that would partly go through the hotly contested waters. They say they could ramp up their military and technological collaboration.

You missed a few, such as discovering water on the moon's surface, becoming the first Asian country to send a satellite to Mars, setting a world record by launching the highest number of commercial satellites in a single launch, balancing diplomatic relations between opposing world powers, and lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and creating the world's largest middle class.
But you are right about the first one. India's film industry does generate billions of dollars of revenue.

In light of the human right violations, the Genocide in Kashmir, the atrocities in Kashmir, all these so called achievements mean nothing. It still remains a Nazi Fascist state.

That is your opinion and I respect that. The rest of the world doesn't think that, despite what some op-eds by liberals may portray. Recently, India received international praise for the mostly-successful Chandrayaan-2 mission, and Modi is going to receive an award by the gates foundation, one of the world's most respected charity organizations. So the truth is somewhere in between.

The CrimesAgainstHumanity committed by the GanguTerroristArmy at the behest of FacistGanguRegime are now not going to be crept under the carpet just that the FacistRegime can be used to contain China.

With emerging scenario of geo-economic tectonic shifts and possible new conflicts... anyone now supporting FacistModi will be remembered as equal partner in CrimesAgainstHumanity.

All that big baloon of GanguNomics is flatenning under its own weight of lies and media hype... with world recession around the corner... longterm down turn is long overdue in GanguDaesh.

In a way best time to cherry pick interesting areas of investments.. for the discerning investor... but not just quite...

And all that supreme leader jazz and hugging OrangeKing is not going to save GanguDaesh for what is coming its way.
