THE AMERICAN SUPREMO'S INDIA VISIT



"Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation."
                             Mahatma Gandhi

"It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of someone else's life with perfection."
                                  Bhagavad Gita

The ongoing visit of the American President Donald Trump to our country has great significance. There may be better international understanding, stronger trade relationship between the two countries, can become more beneficial to Indians in US and many other things. However, we forgot to read the mind of a guest who have come to see India. Anyone come here to see India has only one thing in mind; to see the true India. We have preferred to show the US President a painted India.

Our age old culture and civilization, the great knowledge our ancestors had, the vast amount of language, cast and creed, the unending food habits and tastes, the large number of poor people coexist here, unmitigated beauty bestowed on this great country and umpteen other inexplicable things stored in this vast land make it the true India. This is what we should show anyone coming here; not the painted walls of the artificial creations.

Whatever it may be, the love and respect shown by the common man to the President of the great nation shall be remembered by many generations.
