Republc Day

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Sonia Gandhi were seen sharing some lighter moments at the banquet for US President Barack Obama on Sunday night at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

The grand Republic Day parade lasted two hours, the non-stop drizzle failing to dampen the crowd's enthusiasm for the event, owed at least in part to the presence of President Barack Obama as Chief Guest. First Lady Michelle Obama was bundled up in an overcoat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi wore a bright safa or turban.

US President Barack Obama's unprecedented second visit to India is a "superficial rapprochement" given their hard differences on issues like climate change and nuclear energy cooperation, a wary China said yesterday as it kept a close watch on the outcome of talks.
