It's interesting how Trump reshared Modi's message on his own platform. Shows that even after everything, he values the India connection. Our diaspora in US must be feeling proud today!
While this diplomatic courtesy is welcome, I hope our government focuses equally on strengthening ties with our immediate neighbours. America has been around for 250 years, but we need stable relations in our own region first.
Happy 250th to America! From Gandhi to Modi, India has always respected democratic values. The world needs more cooperation between old and new democracies. Hope the celebrations are grand 🇺🇸🎉
