Some points that came up in the media coverage about perceived and redefined image of India
– Obama rejects view of India as “land of call centers”
– The United States sees Asia, especially India, as the market of the future
– India the land of cold-start (the Loch Ness monster that most of the Indians don’t know they have)
– India the victim of 2008 Mumbai attacks. (Just so that US can proclaim ‘India and US were united against terrorism’)
– On the other hand it is a giant ogling Pakistan on which US needs to put pressure so as to placate Pakistan and get its support in the ‘war against terrorism’
