Dear Reader,<br />
Greetings. Bilateral relations between India and the United States touched a<br />
new high in November 2010, when US President Barack Obama visited this<br />
country, with an agenda to further fortify them. During his whirlwind four-day<br />
visit from 6 to 9 November, 2010, starting in Mumbai and ending in New Delhi,<br />
Obama mesmerized his audience. In Mumbai, he addressed a large gathering<br />
of business tycoons from both countries telling them that boosting bilateral<br />
trade would create a win-win situation for all. Addressing Indian Members of<br />
Parliament in New Delhi, the US President identified three broad areas of<br />
cooperation – high-technology industries, security and tenets for strengthening<br />
democracy the world over. President Obama’s talks with Prime Minister<br />
Manmohan Singh culminated in a statement that described the <strong>Indo</strong>-US<br />
relationship as the Defining Partnership of the 21st Century. The cover story of<br />
the current issue of <strong>Indo</strong>-US Business carries President Obama’s memorable<br />
India visit. Obama’s India connection is far deeper. Today, there are as many as<br />
26 Indian-<strong>American</strong>s serving in the Obama Administration. In fact, the Obama<br />
Administration has more Indian-<strong>American</strong>s in senior positions than any US<br />
government. One such high-ranking official, Suresh Kumar, US Assistant<br />
Secretary of <strong>Commerce</strong>, reveals a big secret to his interviewers – Uday Tarra<br />
Nayar and Deepa Ranade of <strong>Indo</strong>-US Business – that Obama is a big India fan.<br />
We carry the excerpts. <strong>Indo</strong>-<strong>American</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> of <strong>Commerce</strong> (IACC) is<br />
holding its 7th Annual <strong>Indo</strong>-US Economic Summit on 11 and 12 February,<br />
2011 in New Delhi. We carry a curtain raiser to the Summit, whose thrust is on<br />
‘cementing the bonds’ between the business communities of India and the US.<br />
Chhattisgarh is India’s 21st and one of its youngest States. But Chhattisgarh’s<br />
claim to fame is that it is also one of the fastest growing states in the country,<br />
thanks to the dynamic leadership of Chief Minister, Dr. Raman Singh. We carry a<br />
special section on Chhattisgarh. We carry a report on how <strong>American</strong>s of Indian<br />
origin have become a visible force in the Obama Administration. Coinciding<br />
with Obama’s India visit, two US companies have signed deals to build nuclear<br />
plants in this country involving an investment of $10 billion. We present a<br />
report. There is a nice entertainment feature on how the applause is getting<br />
louder and louder for Indian films in the United States. There is a huge section<br />
on news from various branches of IACC from across the country. Besides this<br />
rich and varied fare, the magazine carries plenty of news and other regular<br />
features.<br />
Wish you happy reading<br />
