So that decision was not a result of the visit, which is why it wasn't even mentioned in the joint statement. Will be interesting to see what it's about, but doesn't change the fact that nothing was achived by the PM wrt defence.
You really are clutching at straws, aren't you? Do you really want nothing to happen between India & the U.S. unless someone is visiting? The fact that these deals were agreed to (After Secretary Hagel's visit) before Mr. Modi went there & he didn't feel it necessary to show off his "accomplishment" indicates that both sides are keen on getting the relationship working (even if this is still only an early swallow) and not just indulge in PR. You were arguing earlier that signing deals during visits were important to show "the relationship", here is proof that the relationship seems fine even without that. Btw, what do you mean nothing was achieved wrt defence? What exactly do you think this is? Regardless of our differences on semantics, surely you agree that this is a good start for India.
