Hillary Clinton visits India and tells Delhi that Barack Obama too is good for business
For a US Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton spent a substantial five days on her official tour to India. Her association with this country goes back to the presidential years when she came as First Lady and then returned later on private visits. In addition, Hillary has had close interactions with elite Indo-Americans organisations and individuals, some of whom have been her very prominent backers. Not surprisingly, this trip to India was her fourth.
The trip was designed to highlight the depth of ties and understanding between the US and India and had all the photo-ops that Americans know Indians love: a meeting with Bollywood icon Amir Khan, a picture of political correctness; and get together with tycoons and the impoverished in equal measure, all of which was great news as far as Indian TV channels were concerned.
In an address in New Delhi, she said that it was time for more people-to-people contacts between the two countries! Hardly. Such contacts that exist between the people of these two countries would scarcely have a parallel in the modern world: for example the US remains the most favoured destination for Indian students. In the last seven months, there has been a whopping 38% increase in the number of Indian candidates going to the US. The connection between the two civil societies is chronicled virtually every day in the media.
Says journalist Jeremy Kahn, reporting Hillary’s India trip, “ this hardly seems to be an earth-shattering policy announcement. In fact, it seems to be an extremely trite pronouncement. Her own schedule demonstrates that the US-India relationship long ago moved beyond formal diplomacy. So this should hardly have been billed as “a major address.”
