Trump, Modi to address 50,000 Indian-Americans at 'Howdy Modi' mega event in Houston

US President Donald Trump will be joining PM Narendra Modi at a mega event in Houston named "Howdy, Modi!". The September 22 event will be the first time a US president and Indian Prime Minister will be addressing a joint rally.

Amid speculation if Trump would join PM Modi at the Houston event, White House issued a statement to confirm that he would attend the rally. This is the third successive meeting between Trump and PM Modi within the span of a few weeks after the G20 and G7 summits.

More than 50,000 Indian-Americans from across the US have registered for the September 22 mega "Howdy, Modi! Shared Dreams, Bright Futures" event to be held at the sprawling NRG Stadium in Houston.

"Howdy", short for 'How do you do?', is a friendly greeting commonly used in southwestern United States and the event has been designed as a greeting to PM Modi.

There was a group of Indian-American Hindus supporting Trump back in 2016.

Meanwhile, back in India, the number of jobs continues to dwindle, banks are running short on cash, and Modi’s RSS thugs continue to harass non-Brahmins by, among other things, destroying temples.

Likewise.
Washington Co west of Portland was the last Republican stronghold.

My local Costco has a terrible time with H-1B Indians swapping one Costco ID cards among friends. It’s kind of comical being behind one in line trying to scam their way through payment.

There are apparently 50,000 who'll be in Houston who aren't. Smart play by Trump.

I don't doubt it, but the fact remains that India has "enshrined" socialism in its constitution.

modi is a very bad man. He has made it open season on Christians in his country.

Mr. President, please hold the bastard’s feet to the fire on this issue.

Let Modi take those 50,000 Indians home with him when he leaves. And, by the way, when is Trump going to keep his promise to stop people from countries like India, that won’t take deportees back?

Thanks for making that clear. It has a lot of personal meaning for me.

President Trump’s appearing with PM Modi is sure to boost many who are not necessarily Indian, but are usually ‘undecided’ voters who are registered neither Democrat or Republican.

It occurs to me that President Trump is already working on evoolving support from this ‘undecided’ group of voters. In this he is far ahead of the Democrats.
