GENERAL THINGS ABOUT OBAMA'S VISIT TO INDIA

US looks for a refound SC that include India as a permanent member… which was an empty statement.

A more clear US position on that issue would also depend on more clear position regarding important fields such as Kashmir.

In 2010, Obama come to India before the SAARC summit, asked to reduce the Kashmiri tension by talks, however Mamohan Singh stated that talks are just gonna happen once Pakistan stops supporting cross-border terrorism.

26-11-2008 Mumbay attack. Since than India ceased talks with Pakistan, just recovering conversations after the SAARC summit of 2010.

Obama is a fan of Mahatma Gandhi.

India accused US to be soft in the counter terrorism campaign on what concern terrorism not aimed to them, as is the case with Pakistani based groups targeting India.

US is silent on Pakistani cross border terrorism.

His visit kind of settled a dead line for ratifying the Nuclear Liability Bill: a law which limits the responsibility of nuclear enterprises acting in India. It passed through a very difficult parliament ratify but is currently ratified.

It definitely created the background for the approval of it.

Once approved, India has got a green line to go ahead with the nuclear generator agreement of 2008, an important step in the major cooperation agreement of 2005.

Both agreed on effective nuclear energy and arsenal of management, strengthening the 2005 - 123 agreement.

Common cooperation for Afghanistan.

Civil space and defense technology cooperation.

Obama wants to shift India’s traditional sellers of weapons in its favour. Usually the main seller is Israel, and before it was Russia.

In Obama’s campaign he promised to stop the outsourcing of US jobs, but when he came to India he didn’t mention about it, what was a worry for US analysts. However, he fostered the signature of many trade agreements between private investors, accounting for 10 million just in the first of his 3 days visit. According to him, this would create 54,000 jobs in US, not counting outsourcing jobs.
