Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s unprecedented and historic visit to America has come to an end. The eyes of the whole world were on this visit. Every moment of welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi in America was a moment of pride for the Indians. This visit is about to start a new golden chapter of friendship between the two countries. From this visit, on the one hand, a strong message has been given to India’s enemy countries China and Pakistan, on the other hand, a message has also been given to those forces who are spreading baseless news on the interests of minorities, human rights, freedom of expression, etc. Prime Minister Modi Keep trying to tarnish the image of
Prime Minister Modi’s visit began by leading a historic yoga session at the United Nations Headquarters on the occasion of International Day of Yoga. It was from here that the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indian culture in America began to be felt. The enthusiasm of the people there to do yoga with Modi at the event in New York was amazing. Sanskrit shlokas including Om were also recited in the yoga programme. It was a proud moment for Indian culture and yoga. It is the result of the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that today Yoga has spread all over the world and is binding the world in one thread.
During his visit to America, Prime Minister Modi met many important personalities of America. Addressed the US Parliament as the most prominent program and held bilateral talks with US President Biden and the subsequent press conference. In the last leg of the visit, he addressed Indians settled in America at the Ronald Reagan Center. The positive results of the Prime Minister’s visit to America have already started emerging.
The major result of the visit is that America has decided to return 100 ancient idols and heritage of India which were transported to the US and international markets in the last 70 years by some means or the other. Apart from this, agreements have been signed between India and America for defense, technology transfer, promotion of manufacturing and strengthening of industrial supply chain. There is a similarity in the stand of the two countries on global issues. This will boost the efforts related to Make in India and Make for the world.
The Prime Minister gave a big message in America. That is, India is the mother of democracy, while America is the champion of modern democracy. The world is witnessing the strengthening of bilateral relations between these two great democracies. Certainly the Indian-American community will play a big role in realizing the true potential of the relationship between the two countries. This is the right time to invest more and more in India. The Prime Minister said that together we are not only preparing policies and agreements, but we are also shaping lives, dreams and destinies.
While addressing the Indians settled in America, when the Prime Minister told that now the renewal of H-1B visa will be done in America only, then the people present there danced with joy and echoed with deafening slogans of Modi-Modi. Indians living in America will no longer have to come to India for renewal of H1B visa for their work and they will be able to get this work done while continuing their job in America. This decision will facilitate Indians working in engineering and other high technology in America. In future, this facility will also be available for L visa holders.
Narendra Modi has become the Prime Minister to address the US Parliament twice in his nine years in office. Addressing the US Parliament, he said that terrorism is the enemy of humanity, there can be no ifs and buts to deal with this menace. This address of the Prime Minister was historic, listening to which people not only in India but all over the world kept awake. With his style of speech, the Prime Minister not only attacked the sponsors of terror, but also gave a befitting reply to those who go abroad and criticize Indian democracy and conspire to stall the proceedings of the House inside India.
Now India can get strong support from many countries of the world including America for decisive fight against Pakistan sponsored terrorism. Although China is still becoming a major obstacle in the fight against terror. Another important thing is that India’s claim for a permanent seat in the United Nations General Assembly has once again been strengthened and America has also supported it. Those people in America who keep running anti-India agenda from time to time, their dream has been shattered. It is clear that there can be more stability in the relations between India and America in the coming times.
