Amongst the news today was an article on how the USA has included India in a scheme whereunder low risk travellers (who need to be pre-approved) from India will avail of expedited clearance.
While the number of beneficiaries under this scheme might not be very high, this is a noteworthy step and a milestone for the Indian government because the scheme covers only 10 other countries (considering furthermore that this comes at a time when the USA is tightening rules for immigrants and visitors from numerous other countries).
It is a testimonial to the extent to which India's stock globally has gone up, all thanks for the leadership and vision of the BJP government under the capable leadership of Shri Narendra Modi.
What a sea change in attitudes from a few years back when Shri Modi was refused visa's in Western countries because anti India and anti Hindu forces used the bogey of Gujarat riots to malign Modi ji/ BJP/ the Hindu religion and India under the guide of human/ religious rights (never mind that leaders of states like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Saudi, other Middle Eastern countries etc - which have carried large scale progroms against minorities in their own countries and have a terrible record when it comes to minority and women's rights - are all treated as state guests and no protests are ever carried out against them).
Reminds me of the hindi song - jhukti hai duniya, jhukane wala chahiye.
