Indo US nuclear deal reactivated thanks to nonexisting resistance and corporate politics and FDI fed media immersing all the govt.sector insurance companies to get an insurance pool for making in America and dismissing whatever Indian including the Indian people.

Now,the Dow Chemicals lawyer of Bhopal Gas Tragedy defence is the finance minister of the government of Hindu Imperialism aligned with global zionist order and the Lawyer with unprecedented success to defend US interests on Indian soil has made it clear that second generation of reforms is all about COMPLETE Privatisation in biometric digital Desh which is defined very well as minimum governance!
Thus,Jai Ho Jai Ho Obama Modi as US Business making in BOMB BomB!India bails out AMERICA killing its people!
Thus, US Business in India has to touch no less than Three MILLION Thousand dollars with the Mida`s touch at Chai par Characha and Kutva,the Dog Show on the red carpet at the arrival of US President and the first lady.
The President must have enjoyed the warmth of hug but the occasion missed the presence of an Indian lady to embrace the first lady!
The minister of foreign afairs,herself the most elegant leader,missed the train!
Thus,Russia is replaced by United States of AMERICA and it costs only those millions of lives to be sacrificed in future in nuclear and industrial accidents for which the Dow Chemicals Lawyer ensured eternal freedom and we have the compensation package with our own hard earned money invested in our insurance companies which should work as Bullet Proof umbrella for all US companies making any damned things,consumer goods to sex toys to electronics to atomic weapon to lethal chemicals prohibited all over the developed world and so on.

It is Modi Magic all over and thus,the pinstripe bandhgala suit Prime Minister Narendra Modiwore yesterday during his talks with US President Barack Obama in Hyderabad House had his name embroidered all over it, triggering a debate in the social media.
The debate began after close-up photographs of his suit showed that his full name, Narendra Damodardas Modi, was embroidered on the fabric vertically down the stripe.
"While 'Modi Kurta' might have been interesting, 'Modi Suit' feels annoying," was one of the tweets.

UPDATE 4-Obama ends day of Indian pageantry with $4 billion pledge
Mon Jan 26, 2015 4:04pm GMT
* Modi and Obama strike warm tone during India visit
* Trade ties still fragile
* Deals signed, including in nuclear power sector
* U.S.-India cooperation on Islamic State discussed (Adds details of earlier deals, Obama quotes)
By Sanjeev Miglani and Roberta Rampton
NEW DELHI, Jan 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama ended a landmark day in India on Monday with a pledge of $4 billion in investments and loans, seeking to release what he called the "untapped potential" of a business and strategic partnership between the world's largest democracies.
Earlier in the day, at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Obama was the first U.S. president to attend India's annual Republic Day parade, a show of military might that has been associated with Cold War anti-Americanism.
It rained as troops, tanks and cultural floats filed through the heart of New Delhi, but excitement nevertheless ran high over Obama's visit, which began on Sunday with a clutch of deals to unlock billions of dollars in nuclear trade and to deepen defence ties.
Both sides hope to build enough momentum to forge a relationship that will help balance China's rise by catapulting democratic India into the league of major world powers. Continued...

Gas Prices at Lowest Since 2009, but Bottom in Sight
The average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States fell 13.3 cents in the past two weeks, dropping to its lowest level since late April 2009, but the end of a months-long slide may be near. Prices for regular grade gasoline fell to $2.07 a gallon in the survey dated Jan. 23 from the previous survey on Jan. 9, according to the Lundberg survey released Sunday.
The recent drop has taken prices down more than $1.24 a gallon from the same period a year ago, a decline driven by losses in the crude oil market from its June peak.
However, survey publisher Trilby Lundberg noted that the drop in pump prices was less steep than it had been in previous periods and that the price many wholesale customers paid for gasoline rose in the past 10 days, suggesting a bottoming-out or increase in retail gasoline prices could be looming.

The India-US CEO Forum has been meeting since this afternoon; President Obama and PM Modi will now join them in discussions on bilateral trade and then both will address the India-US business summit, open to more business leaders and the media.
Godrej group chairman Adi Godrej on Monday said the Indo-US CEO Meet will lead to a tremendous rise in the level of mutual investment and trade between India and the U.S.
"The level of mutual investment and trade will rise dramatically. I don't think it will be necessarily felt only year one, but five years from now, the effects of this visit will be extremely positive. The world is convinced that India is the country of the future," Adi Godrej told ANI.
US President Barack Obama listens as PM Narendra Modi delivers a speech during the India-US business summit in New Delhi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday promised an open business environment, predictable tax regime and to remove "remaining uncertainties" as President Barack Obama raised issues of trade barriers and intellectual property while seeking ease of doing business in India.
Modi asserted that his government has removed some of the "excesses of the past" and said "we will now soon address the remaining uncertainties", an apparent reference to the retrospective taxation law of the previous government that put off global investors.
Pledging USD 4 billion in lending by US banks, Obama said the US is ready to help India grow by working with it in development of infrastructure like railways, ports, roads and clean energy power plants.
Both the leaders were addressing a meeting of the US-India Business Council on the second day of the US President's visit that was attended by top corporate leaders of both the countries.
Earlier, addressing a meeting of India-US CEO Forum that he would personally take charge of implementation of big projects and monitor them.
"You will find environment that is not only open, but also welcoming. We will guide you and walk with you in projects. You will find a climate that encourages investment and rewards enterprise. It will nurture innovation and protect your intellectual property.
It will make it easy to do business…. You will find a tax regime that is predictable and competitive. We have removed some of the excesses of the past. We will now address the remaining uncertainties," Modi said at the USIBC meeting.
US President Barack Obama sought "consistency" and "simplicity" in regulatory and tax environment in India besides redressal of issues relating to intellectual property rights to significantly increase trade and business between the world's two largest democracies.
Obama said there was huge scope for improving infrastructure in India and enhancing the road network and broadband connectivity will help the business grow significantly.
"There is great interest on part of US companies to find consistency, clarity, greater simplicity in regulatory and tax environment in India.
If that occurs I think we are going to see lot more business in India. That is consistent with many of the reforms Prime Minister Modi has articulated," he told the meeting of select group of CEOs.
Obama said Modi has brought new energy and vigour in redesigning the "architecture" in India to facilitate greater growth and investment.

Minister for information technology and communications Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday invited US technology companiesto set manufacturing base in the country under the Make In India programme.
"When we say Make in India, we invite big American companies to manufacture here. We will give all benefits available for Indian companies. Make for India and make for exports," Prasad said at the 'India US Dialogues' event organised by The Observer Research Foundation and Network 18.
The government is willing to dole out incentives for manufacturing electronics in the country. "To put it simply, if you invest $100 here, we will give you $25. You will benefit from the incentives given by individual states also," Prasad said.
The government has also opened up an electronic development fund worth billions of dollars to support electronics manufacturing in the country, he said, adding that information technology (IT) can be another area where India and the US can work together. The event comes on the heel of the US President Barack Obama three day visit to the India.
India imported telecom products worth Rs 69,516.37 crore in 2013-14, while exports of such items were at Rs 20,475.17 crore during the year, leaving a significant deficit of Rs 49,041.20 crore.
"About 60 per cent of India's IT exports are to the US. Whenever I go Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Gurgaon, I see American companies having back-end offices there. People come to meet me from Facebook, Google and they are all keen to invest more in India," Prasad said. "Internet revolution is happening.E-commerce is growing at a pace of 37 per cent. We are bridging the digital divide.We are committed to promote Indian languages in the digital medium," he said.
Obama, who arrived on Sunday on a three-day visit, welcomed the development and said renewal of the defence pact will guide the bilateral defence cooperation for next ten years.
"We agreed to deepen our defence and security cooperation.... And in a major step forward for our relationship, defence technology and trade initiative will allow us to jointly develop and produce defence technologies," he said.
Obama added that both Modi and he have also agreed to a "new vision for Asia Pacific".
The first framework agreement, which expires this year, was signed in the US in 2005 by the then Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee and his US counterpart in the previous George W.Bush administration, Donald Rumsfeld.
