It was meeting with diaspora of India. The meet was well planned by Indians in combination with gas company who attended in large numbers,so much so many were left out It was success as an unofficial , casual meet The fact that Trump along with other law makers attended was the high point.bof public display only The leader of Democrats made a pointed reference to contribution of Nehru and Gandhi quote to wipe tears from every eye was perhaps an embarrassment of sorts was ignored and reaction on spot was not well taken There was nothing promised by way of trade in inspite of several meetings. Trump remained illusory about actual trade deal expected by us Pertonet invested in billions for gas exploration creating jobs in USA no reciprocal proposals to invest in India . India is promised gas supply over a period thus making it a captive customer True the Indian diaspora got an birds eye view of toilet facilities, roads, water conservation, housing, swach Bharat reality and may be they lapped it up as great sign of progress . They have only cheered not committed to help their Nation or relocate at some time , It is disgraceful that such basic necessities are beyond fundamental reach of citizens over decades . No country has mentioned or accepted as examples to be emulated True PM has acted as statesman in comparison to Pakistan Head who is noted as brinksman and that is admirable Trumps offer to mediate or leave it to both leaders to sort out the differences is no music to our ears or known stand The publicity in the USA electronic and print media did not receive that hype. In fact the protests by others were deliberately blanked out The meet with other Nations heads to explain our stand was a routine exercise as most were non commital to our stand . In fact silent voices of dissent on freedom in J&K is doing curious rounds The event was a great entertainment for Indians for their show of unity in diversity , the lawmakers got a mileage of propaganda and Trump received reelection blast from PM which has been commented upon Trump remark as Father of Nation displacing Mahatma Gandhi is ludicrous to say the least .The persecution of minorities does not support budh verses Yudh dictum MahatmaGandhi has well projected India to other Nations and India received accolades is just fiction of imagination of propaganda machine How success is measured in concrete terms of advantage India remains to be seen The impact was on diaspora present and not on USA administration, lawmakers or media The show of close relationship has no connection between give sways to India or any trade advantage to make it a trillion economy projected USA is not flying to India just because of income tax relief and availability of man power and demand The net connectivity , red tape , transport nightmares power supply are woefully inadequate to make alternative destination or relocation Nelson Lopes Chinchinim Sent from my iPhonem my iPhone
