Even renowned industrialist and Chairman of Mahindra group Anand Mahindra tweeted praising Modi for changing the perception about Indian in the United States.
I came to America as a student in ‘73 when the perception of India was still mired in the stereotype of snake charmers. I’m glad that I’ve lived long enough to see the perception of India & the bonds between the two nations elevated beyond anyone’s imagination. pic.twitter.com/2JGE07MqEw
