India's prime minister Modi will meet with President Obama today in Washington at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. They will talk about the future of American/Indian relations and discuss economic development and trade issues. A current topic will be H1B visas and the numbers alloted for professionals, many of whom have come to the US from India. Mr. Modi will want some assurances that the "brain drain" will not remove these well educated Indians from the subcontinent economy.
Mr. Modi will stress the need to have these folks work and play at home is essential for the future of India's growing middle class. Mr. Modi seems to have taken strides to move India forward on the world stage, in anticipation of a larger role in world affairs. he also is sending a message to India's neighbor, China, that India will not sit back and allow the Chinese government to run roughshod over the border areas in dispute along their common boundary.
Viva Modi!
