Since his ascendency to India’s Prime Ministership last year, Narendra Modi has been visiting India’s global neighbours almost nonstop.
These visits, which have a element of goodwill, are not only that. Their main purpose is to solicit investment in India, and also to drum up support for India’s permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council.
By that token, Modi’s visit to the UK is a resounding success, as Britain has pledged support to India’s claim for permanent membership in the UNSC, and also has committed £ 9 Billion worth of investment in India.
Not only that, the British Government has decided to launch £ 1 Billion worth of Rupee Bonds, the first such bonds ever.
