What a performance it has been by the Indian Prime Minister! The US and seemingly, the whole lot of the Indian Americans are celebrating the visit of an Indian Prime Minister!!
His performance at the Madison Square Garden - a place one usually associated with the likes of Bruce Springstein, Barbara Streisand and others - has been nothing short of spectacular with the maximum visual impact! The most important aspect is that he's spoken from his heart to connect with the masses.
Even in his speech at the General Assembly, while putting the record straight with regard to Pakistan, he'd gone ahead and touched upon all the important aspects that matter in today's world like terrorism, the health hazard brought about by the deadly Ebola virus and the long awaited UN Security Council's overhaul. It was as though, the Indian leader while being aware of his country's strengths and weaknesses, was pitching for the global good on the world arena - the attitude of a true statesman!
My take.
Some of the points that I'm gonna list out are worth thinking about at this juncture, which are:-
(a) The country, where he's raising a storm, had denied a visa for him for over a decade. He could
have sulked and refused the invitation.
(b) So, the argument that it's his nationalism and the genuine interest to do things in his country's
interest has brought him there seems to be valid.
(c) How did his detractors back home manage to pin him down all these years? Did it have
overseas' patronage as has been always doubted in various quarters?
(d) For the US, it's business that matters and it makes great sense for that country that here comes
an Indian leader who says that his country is ready for its investors!
Tailpiece.
(a) We're privileged to be present at a moment of time when momentous things are gonna happen.
(b) His performance at the Central Park, earlier, before an audience of over 60,000 people was again a smash hit!
