Indian visit of Obama and China
New trends & Old politics
In his recent visit President Obama played smartly and his
last advice regarding communal harmony and gender sensitive policies was timely
for India yet keeping in view international importance of the Indian visit,
China announced an international event in September 2015 of world leaders including
Putin too. Like post Lend and Lease US,
China too announced a war against Fascism which looks interesting. No doubt, it
is time for new alliances yet in this game choice of allies is of vital

stand in front of rising China. Pressures on India are multiple yet its current
leadership is not ready to expand its partnership at internal national
politics. Modie is relaxing laws for international investments and emphasis is
on arms deals which is not good for India and the region at all. It is
essential to settle the borders first and in this regard India, Pakistan, US

in neutralization of conflicting borders among China, India, Pakistan,
Afghanistan it will change the future politics in favour of trading zones. Now
