President Obama has won over Indian MPs and common Indian men by recognizing India as super power. In his speech to MPS he has recognized how India has played a major role in various scientific discoveries like zero and other complicated mathematical concepts. Obama addressed the house of MPs during his short visit to India.
A ceremonial reception was organized for US President Barack Obama at Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi on Monday morning. Obama along with his wife Michelle were welcomed at the presidential palace forecourt by Indian President Partibha Patel and her husband Devisingh Patel. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Gursharan Kaur were also present over there to greet US President and his wife.
It has been reported that Obama in a short statement said that India is not a rising power but a global power. He expressed his gratitude for the grand welcome and affection shown to him during his visit. He also said that counter terrorism will get high priority in his talks with Indian Officials in the afternoon.
After the ceremonial welcome President Obama went to Rajghat to pay his tribute to our “Father of the Nation” Mahatma Gandhi. Obama said that his real hero is Mahatma Gandhi. Then he will hold formal talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and address a joint press conference. It has been reported that in the evening he will be addressing a joint sitting of Parliament before the state banquet at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The main part of Obama’s visit to India began on Sunday evening when he arrived in New Delhi. In Mumbai he mainly discussed about deals with India that were already done and jobs these would create in US.
Indian Officials are not expecting Obama to support India’s claim for permanent seat in Security Council. But on high tech exports there will be a positive movement. They are expecting US to amend the export control laws in India -US joint statement.
