Nation at 9: #ModiInUS- New York Debates: 1st edition
- 5 years ago
When it comes to Indian prime minister Narendra Modi's upcoming visit to the US later this month, there is diverse reaction — euphoria and indifference; cautious optimism of new economic fronts sprouting; as well as a heavy dose of scepticism.
Some wave it off as blase — a tedious deja vu of a diplomatic role play, with minimal results forthcoming. Others see it as an opportune moment to protest.
The euphoria is mostly among the Gujarati community, especially in the Tristate areas of New York City and New Jersey. The public reception for Modi at the Madison Square Garden (MSG) on September 28 is what they are waiting to savour, the lynchpin of his five-day visit — at least for these supporters.
The organizers were warned by the Prime Minister's Office not to make it an all-Gujarati show. So tickets were allocated to different Indian American organizations all over the country. An overwhelming response led to a lottery thrown in to determine 1,500 individual tickets.
