Barack Obama's Indian visit
This year was most significant for U.S. - Indian political ties as Obama visited India and made important discussions and pacts with the nation. He visited with a group which also contained Indians. But the interesting fact is that the American President was visited by some Indian organizations many weeks before the planned visit. Organizations like The Sikh Coalition and Indian cultural association visited White House to present their issues and add them in the agenda during the President's India visit. National Coordination council formed for Indian American community related issues
Four major national organizations namely the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA), American Association of Physicians from India (AAPI), Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) and National Federation of Indian American Associations (NFIA) representing the Indian American community pledged to work together for issues concerning the community at large in a meeting held in conjunction with the biennial convention of National Federation of Indian American Associations.
