Obama as guest of honour

Undoubtedly this year’s Republic Day celebrations will be of historical importance to our country. For the first time in the history of free India, the President of the US will be our guest of honour. In a sense, 26 January 2015 will mark the largest and the most powerful democracies in the world coming together. To the world and to the freedom loving billions of people on the globe, the message will go that democracy is the destiny of mankind. The union of the largest and the strongest democracy will be the most effective message to those who are hell bent on destroying democracy as the cherished political arrangement of mankind. Undoubtedly, the credit of serving the free world through this unison of ideologies goes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
President Obama’s presence on the historic occasion will be the beginning of a new chapter in India’s relations with the United States. In the first place, it will be a slap on the face of forces , who have done more harm to the nation by opposing the US than by doing any good by towing the Soviet line.
