President Obama’s upcoming trip to India is probably the most highly mediatized presidential visit ever. The fact that the trip comes so soon after a “shellacking” in the mid-term elections makes it even more important. Expectations are running high in both the US and India with geopolitical experts and media pundits comparing the visit to Nixon’s trip to China in 1972, which ushered in a new era in US-China relations. Larry Summers, Obama’s outgoing economic advisor, is even calling for the so-called Beijing Consensus to be replaced by a “Mumbai Consensus” as India is poised to eclipse China’s economic growth by 2015.
