OPINION:--- India is benefitting from Modis foreign visits

For
Unlike Manmohan Singh's foreign trips which
largely went unnoticed at home and in the
countries he visited, Modi has made an impact
wherever he has gone
has brought in far greater "diplomatic dividends"
Modi believes in direct public engagement
wherever he goes

Investment from Canada will be 35 crore dollars

Against

defence major Boeing, this meant " Make in
America" is going to benefit from such trips, and
not his much-hyped 'Make in India'
Why frequent visits to countries like Nepal??

India is known for remarkable history of

diplomacy even during the tough cold-war
times. So the personal credit is not necessary
It should be noted that poverty is widespread in

Investment from France will be 2 billion euro.

Investment from Japan will be 35 billion dollars

Investment from America will be 45 billion

takes place. This being the scenario, social issues
requiring immediate attention are more
important than world recognition or action to
appease the urban population. Many consider
Modi's foreign trips as an extravaganza on
taxpayer's money.
More hands to MNCs, faster approvals of foreign
firms projects hurt environment and structure of
Indian economy
