In India Visit, U.S. Media Sees Geopolitical Implications

CNN also wondered "Is Obama-Modi 'bromance' a turning point in U.S., Indian relations?"

"The biggest takeaway from Obama's three days in India was the symbolism of the leaders of the world's two biggest democracies cozying up," it said.

"But others would have seen greater geopolitical implications."

"Unlike Obama's previous India visit in 2010, Pakistan was not a focus -- at least in public statements," the news channel noted."Instead, India seems to be positioning itself for a more global role, playing a part in issues that go beyond its borders."Giving "symbolism its moment and its due," CNN suggested "Maybe it will make India a more prominent player in global issues, over time."

"And maybe, just maybe, India and the U.S. may move a little closer to forming the 'defining partnership' that Obama first promised in 2010," it said.Obama's visit to India had angered Pakistan, the Los Angeles Times suggested citing Islamabad's comments lambasting the U.S. "selectivity and discrimination" favouring rival India.

"The comments reflected deep concern in Pakistan that Obama's heavily choreographed embrace of India and its ambitious new prime minister could jeopardise Islamabad's lucrative but troubled relationship with Washington," it said.
