US President Barak Obama celebrated Diwali festival in White House in full Indian tradition for the first time in 2009. Again, US President has shown his keen interest in recruiting top advisers from Indian origin. Both, over a period of time have raised hope in India of stronger relationship with America unlike cold war time and oblivious of American Af-Pak agenda. By now, US President should have included India in his itinerary. May be Obama has been busy with pressing problems at home and could not find time to unveil his Indian agenda as yet. China has obviously dominated his Asian agenda; but, China would be a difficult knot to crack in short time. While, India could offer US president a substantial mileage in global affairs with minimum investment in time and money.
Apparently, Obama has been lucky to impress the Nobel Award Foundation to confer Nobel Peace Prize at the beginning of his stint in White House. Nobel Foundation saw promise in democrat US president to change the current structure of world politics and move the world in the direction of disarmament, peace and climate change compliance. India has always stood for peace and friendship between nations but, unfortunately, best of intentions have never been reciprocated by the global powers and US president can change all that by announcing an India state visit to forge closer ties between two large democracies.
