Modi meets with Trump but doesn't speak English.
All Indians speak English very well. They have been taught to do so by the British. So, why did Modi speak Hindi to Trump in the White House press conference?

Granted, the Brits are a whole lot better administrators than we yanks because they have an aristocratic bent. We now all speak English, like computers operating on the JavaScript in order to relate on the world wide web.
If you don't speak English, you don't count. More people may speak something else but they don't matter. Some specie of ants number 100 trillion. They get trodden underfoot. Look at the 40,000 people in Gaza who got wiped out. They did not speak English. And all we care about are the handful who do, those poor emaciated few.
How well traveled are you? My comments are reports of conditions on the ground in real time. India will never be the next big thing. Like I said, numbers don't count. Not India, not even China even though the Chinese are extremely smart and incredibly industrious.
Do you think Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba was establishing his presence speaking Japanese? He spoke in Japanese after reading from script saying "It is not good if I speak my poor English, so please allow me to speak in Japanese. I am Shigeru Ishiba, the chief secretary of the Liberal Democratic Party of ..." The Japanese never bothered to learn the English language. They bow only to each other, never to the white man even though they were whacked twice with the atom bomb. Modi, on the other hand, will lick the white man's feet, and this is the way he was brought up by Mother India. I am not belittling him as you might think.
The present era belongs to the west, and the US economy is still the engine of the world. Americans charged out of the gate after WW2 and have not slowed down economically. Woke ideology would surely do us in if we had not produced Donald Trump to break us free of this poisonous culture killing virus that has infected the rest of the west.
And there is the attitude that is going to sink America. Right there! I cant think of a kind way to say this. But English is the current language of commerce, because the English (not the Americans) won that battle.

Before that, the language of diplomats was French (the Lingua Franca of europe) More people currently speak Spanish than English and Mandarin is highly valued as a language if you want to get anyplace in business.

The rest of your information about India is two decades out of date at best and India has learned from the chinese very well and is coming up behind and may well be the next big thing after them.,.

So establishing your presence by using your own language at the White House is indeed a clever and powerful symbol.

Modi and his friends already got screwed over by trump on one real estste condo deal. This may even have been payback for that. Just because English happens to be your language, dont assume your kids wont have to learn another to get on in the world..Just like the Indian kids..😷

@sree251 I'm sorry. While you sound sincere in your beliefs, they contain holes I can drive a mack Truck through. I cant ignore all of it. But I admit I am cherry picking the low hanging fruit with these
*If you don't speak English, you don't count.". Around 6 billion people dont count by your book. I am going to assume you dont count Lasagne as speaking Italian here.
*How well traveled are you?" Boy, did you pick the wrong guy. My passport has expired now. But includes stamps from Britain, several eur countries. the UAE India, Sri Lanka. A couple of French places in the South Pacific South Africa, NZ and a little place called America. A mix of business and pleasure. Enough for travel not to be a pleasure any more and enough business so I know which way the money and the power moves in many different cultures. So with all due respect, you dont know $h*t!
*Do you think Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba was establishing his presence speaking Japanese? He spoke in Japanese after reading from script saying" A couple of points here. First, As a worldly wise traveller I am sure you understand the Asian concept of "face". Where is a person makes a public mistake his embarrasment is acute (to the extreme of sepuku. Ritual disembowelment. or losing a finger in atonement) So rather than make a pronounciation error, he sroke this native language. Lets see Trump speak japanese as a gesture. Second. While the Japanese have been extremely successful in exporting their goods and services globally, they are an insular people Not suited culturally to export themselves the way they export toyotas. The Chinese for example are very different. Just about every major city has a China town..They maintain their culture in other locations as other empires have. But the Japanese never did.
*The present era belongs to the west, and the US economy is still the engine of the world. Americans charged out of the gate after WW2 and have not slowed down".
Sorry. Rubbish! Just take a look at your import/export trade imbalance. $35 Trillion in the hole and rising.And it would be so much worse if you hadnt devalued your own $ by stelth with "Quantitative Easing" which started way before Covid and hasnt stopped since..Prinitng a dollar doesnt mean there is value behind it. Its just paper..
Now I get that its annoying to be spoken to like this. But its also a learning moment if you want it to be. I dont give a damn about politics. Show me a system that offers the most good to the most people and the best rate of progress and I will let you dance naked int from of burning crosses and pray to the sun for it. But dont try and argue with me on the economics..😷

@NativePortlander1970 are you denying the information is true?
@specman I'm denying your source, thus denying your information
Because Modi is not obglitated to.
