Yesterday me and Yash went to San Jose Airport to welcome India's PM Narendra Modiji. It was great experience to see one of the most popular world leaders in person and have slight of hand-shake two times. Yash managed to get a selfie also:-) The weekend is full of events culminating into Community welcome at SAP center which we plan to attend. It would be fun.
What a change leader can make in terms of country's perception at world stage. 2 years back India was slowing, stuck in lack of governance and despite her potential no one was paying attention. After Modi became PM, he took on himself personally to travel extensively and use his charisma to change India's image on world stage. And what a success he got. He is only leader in world (other than Obama and Pope) who can fill a stadium of thousands of people to listen to him. His policies such as Digital India, Make In India, Clean India and many others have captured imagination of Indians across the world. No wonder he has over 80% approval ratings. Now would all of these result into real change for India and Indians. I think so. Right now India is fastest growing major economy in world (more than China) and if India can maintain 8+ % GDP growth for next 10 years (assuming Modiji become PM for 2nd term), it would make wonders in reducing poverty and adding significant wealth and make India 3rd largest economy in world before Modi retires from active politics (in 10-12 years). For now, Indians from all over the world are proud of calling Narendra Modiji as their leader! Welcome Modiji to Silicon Valley and looking forward to hearing you
