U.S.-India Ties:
Triumphant Trip: Manmohan Singh in the U.S.

Even taking into account the remarkable warmth of Indo-U.S. ties in the post-Cold War era, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s trip to the U.S. was marked by a U.S. reception of remarkable pomp and pageantry. Nowhere was it more evident than at the state dinner. From Nobel laureate Amartya Sen to Pulitzer Prize-winnning author Jhumpa Lahiri, distinguished Indian Americans joined top American movers and shakers at the state dinner hosted by Obama for Singh. A Siliconeer photo essay.
