In 1998, after the nuclear explosions, Indian chambers of commerce and major corporations networked overtime with their US counter-parts to minimise the effect of sanctions and ensure everyday business links didn't suffer. It was possible with the US as it happened with other major trading and investment partners of India, like the UK and Germany. It happened because there was real movement in India's economy, and there was more international equity in India. A similar equity brings Clinton and his diverse delegation to India. It's even easier to live in the falsehood that India is so important for the US that it's new found warmth towards India is to the total exclusion of anything else.
Money can do that, equity can do that like nothing else can.
Queuing up for H1B visas is the Info-Tech equivalent of heading for the Gulf. When Americans queue up at the Indian Embassy in Washington for business visas to India, then we have a chance of playing hardball and winning an edge. The road to travel is clear. Open up wider for business, draw the Americans in, draw their interest, their money, and their dreams of a return on investment. Then India won't have to wait 22 years for the next American President.
