BLUF: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting the United States for a state visit, including a joint session of Congress and a state dinner with President Biden. This represents a shift in U.S. policy towards Modi, who was previously banned from entering the country due to his involvement in anti-Muslim riots in 2002. Despite concerns about human rights abuses and attacks on the press in India, the U.S. is prioritizing its geopolitical interests and sees India as a valuable ally against China and Russia. India’s democratic values and secularism have been in decline under Modi’s leadership, but these concerns seem to have taken a backseat in the pursuit of strategic alliances.
