In the first 100 days of the new Indian government, Obama sent three of his top Cabinet Ministers -- John Kerry (Secretary of State), Chuck Hagel (Defense Secretary) and Penny Pritzker (Commerce Secretary) -- to India.

The annual India-U.S Strategic Dialogue was held in New Delhi instead of Washington as a goodwill gesture for the new government.

The mood about India in Washington suddenly changed with the new government.

Meetings with Modi by top officials of the Obama Administration reflected that the Prime Minister was focused on India's development and taking Indo-U.S ties to a new level as he considers it as a win-win for both the countries.

Gauging that the Prime Minister was personally leading efforts to normalise Indo-US ties, Obama invited Modi to the White House immediately after the UN General Assembly session in New York.

The maiden meeting between the two leaders at the White House on September 30 helped establish a personal relationship between Obama and Modi -- the two most popular political leaders on the social media.
