There is a cultural matter Modi won't get past, no matter what.

Perhaps I am cherry picking, but it is a major part of Indian history. The English need not apply. Even American English need not apply.

A good friend of mine who set me up in my software stack to create my video game was a student in London, originally from the UAE. He is part of the Indian diaspora.

Trump may have purposely offended Modi and or India with his arrogance. Maybe? Yep. Don't hold your breath waiting for the Indians to come back to the table.

The world is complex, and so is Modi. Really, Trump is not at the table for India. Meaning he is offering the Indians nothing.

It is a big deal and we may have won this round. It ain't pretty.
