I am not a supporter of Modi, or for that matter any particular party or isms. However as an Indian I am proud and hate begging to any country for visas as is being done now in the case of seeking revocation of visa ban on Modi by Rajnath Singh. As a counter measure, and as Indian crabs, a set of MPs have now written to Obama seeking to retain the ban on the issue of visa to Modi! what a shame India!!
Modi need not go to the US in the modern day of technology. He can meet the diaspora by tele-conferencing and retain his dignity. The US business is already under pressure, by not benefiting from the Gujarat’s infrastructure projects, which have gone to other countries (EU and China). If Modi (ever) becomes a the PM of India, his ostracization could hurt US as much, particularly if the US would like to contain influence of China in Asia.
It is well known, that the western powers shower lavish praises and sops to despots and dictators, ignoring their horrifying track records on human rights, when their commercial interests overrule any other interests. India, has a Supreme Court monitoring the Gujarat riots, and we all have faith in the judiciary.
Modi should announce, that he is in no hurry to visit the US, now or in the future!
