CHICAGO: Priyam Gandhi Modi Explores Indo-US Strategic Partnership Amidst 2024 Elections with Global Indi Diaspora in Chicago, The Global Indian Diaspora is set to gain deep insights into the impact of the upcoming elections in India and the United States on the Indo-US strategic partnership as renowned author and communications strategist Priyam Gandhi Modi delivers a compelling talk.

Drawing parallels between the electoral processes in both countries, Modi sheds light on the significance of these elections for the two largest and oldest democracies in the world. Priyam Gandhi Modi thoughtfully stated, “Bharat is not only the largest but also the oldest democracy.” She emphasized how ancient Indian texts like the Rigveda, Atharvaveda, and Mahabharata reference democratic practices, highlighting India’s rich history of Democracy. She also discussed the robust electoral process conducted on a massive scale in India and Prime Minister Modi’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India) and its potential to deepen cooperation between the US and India in various sectors, including space, deep sea explorations, defense, highly skilled human resources, and economic development.

 For instance, the outcome of the US elections could impact the H1B visa policies, which could affect the flow of highly skilled Indian professionals to the US, thereby influencing the human resources sector.

Rakesh Malhotra, founder of Global Indian Diaspora, underscored the immense significance and relevance of the Indo-US strategic partnership, stating, “Democracy fuels progress and prosperity!

Avatans Kumar, the award-winning journalist, shared insights on the influences of narratives and social media on voters in both countries, stating, “In an age of information overload, understanding the impact of narratives and social media on voters is crucial for India and the United States. These platforms shape opinions and sway decisions, making them powerful tools in modern Democracy.
