Atithi Devo Bhava’ or ‘A guest is akin to
God’ is an ancient Indian credo. India will have the most powerful personality
of the world as its atithi on Republic Day. US President Barack Obama’s visit
is likely to be highly significant for Indo-US relations. Though the White
House has been silent till now on the agenda of the visit, America’s sudden
regard for India is the underlying connotation. Obama is not attending the
India Gate parade to witness the self-proclaimed mighty defence system of India
or its colourful jhankis. Whenever and wherever the US President travels, he
means business and business on America’s terms. The US business delegation
bowls over nations in such a way that the entourage appears to be doling out
largesse for the poorest of the poor in the particular host country.
