An event in Houston, Texas, called “Howdy Modi” attracted around 50,000 Indian-Americans to see the prime minister of India. This was one of the largest-ever receptions of a foreign leader in the U.S. and the joint appearance of Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump also signals a growing strategic significance in U.S.-India ties. What’s the thinking behind the event and the attendance of both leaders? Why was Houston chosen as the venue? And what developments are expected for US-India relations?
