The immediate obstacle for the United States is that the man who will become India’s next prime minister, Narendra Modi, was placed on a blacklist of sorts by the George W. Bush administration, was denied a visa to enter the United States and has been shunned by U.S. officials for a decade.

Fareed Zakaria: With Modi heading to victory in India, U.S. policy needs to change - The Washington Post

Even Former Pres. George Bush privately considered him a Hindu extremist and terrorist. Former Pres. Clinton even implemented a "Get Modi" policy during his tenure.

Your own article goes against your argument, in the article it clearly states that the Bush administration simply ignored Modi since he was a regional leader. And that Human Rights organization forced the US to deny him VISA and it says nothing about him being designated as terrorists. It also alleges his involvement in the riots, but then clearly puts that two special investigation by the SC found him innocent. So I don't see from where are you getting the terrorist bit.

World welcomes Modi, will he return the compliment? - The Times of India

NEW DELHI: With Narendra Modi leading BJP's electoral sweep in India, world leaders are waking up to a possible decisive direction in India's foreign policy.
US President Barack Obama called and congratulated Modi on his emphatic election victory. He said the largest democracy in the world has given a decisive mandate and he wished that under Modi's leadership India will contribute at the global stage. Both leaders discussed Indo-US strategic partnership and the prevailing global economic situation. The White House said India's PM-in-waiting would be welcome to the US.
Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh and Mahinda Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka were among the first to congratulate him. Rajapakse spoke to him first and invited him to Colombo. Among the western powers, UK PM David Cameron spoke to Modi, followed by a conversation with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Australian PM Tony Abbott.
Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif, too, congratulated Modi and invited him to visit Islamabad. Sheikh Hasina and her opponent, Khaleda Zia both sent congratulatory messages to Modi, with Sheikh Hasina asking Modi to make Dhaka his first overseas destination.
Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai also called Modi to congratulate him. French ambassador Francois Richier said France is keen to work hand in hand with the new Indian leadership. "This massive vote of confidence highlights the vitality of Indian democracy," Richier said.
In its first reactions, the US National Security Council tweeted, "US congratulates BJP on its victory in India's historic election. We look forward to working with the government once formed to advance our partnership."
What would Narendra Modi's foreign policy look like? First, Modi is likely to concentrate on repairing the Indian economy, which is bound to have an effect on India's foreign policy. Second, Modi's first area of focus is likely to be India's immediate neighbourhood, not including Pakistan. Bangladesh will occupy greater mindspace, not only for foreign policy, but also because in the northeastern states, the massive mandate for Modi is predicated on the hope that his government will find a solution to the illegal migration issue. Third, MEA has to get used to becoming more proactive in the area of economic diplomacy. Modi has indicated diplomats on foreign missions would have to devote a lot more time to promoting trade and investment.
On Pakistan, the Modi government would accept normal trading relations, but may be much tougher on security.

From the same link you have posted:

Consider, for example, the case of Nouri al-Maliki, prime minister of Iraq. He heads a government that is deeply sectarian and has been accused of involvement with death squads, reprisal killings and the systematic persecution of Sunnis in his country. And yet, far from being shunned, Maliki has been received in Washington as an honored guest on many occasions by two White House administrations.

Consider a report from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), the very body that singled out Modi. It lists countries that are of “particular concern” for their “systematic, ongoing and egregious” oppression of religious minorities. Saudi Arabia, whose leaders are paid enormous respect by Washington, is in that top tier. The report recommends that Pakistan be added to that list because of its persistent violence against minorities, which, the report says, is at an all-time high. The report also says that Iraq should be in this group. Not a single government official from any of these countries — or any other country anywhere — has ever been placed on a blacklist or been denied a visa for violating religious freedom. When human rights issues are used in a blatantly selective manner, they rightly invite charges of hypocrisy.

Nice twist, The U.S. denied him a visa after human rights groups accused him of not moving to halt the carnage. Not terror Charges.... I hope you understand the difference...

Its like declaring Governor Pete Wilson a terrorist for rodney king riots...

Most of our friends from Pakistan has no clue on what exactly happened in gujarat riots... and what way modi is been accused..... I asked several members, what caused gujarat riots..... I never got an answer..... the reason could be 2. 1 ) They have no clue 2) They do not want to tell because that might put their entire arguments in to dust bin..... But lets keep riots away from this thread, if not the next riot would be in this thread...

China , I believe Modi will be a bridging factor in Sino- Indian relationship. They were always welcoming him when the West shunned him. Moreover Chinese like strong, decisive and parental figures as national leader; they will get along very well.
 
. . .
My guess is Japan and other East Asian/South East Asian countries.

Israel would be high on the Radar as well. USA will come a bit later.

USA has already declared that is would welcome him.

I think it would make sure first that the terrorists who understand the terrorist activities of that Nidal terrorist are put in Gitmo forever.

I would love to see him visit china, japan, russia, israel, france, UK and the US in that order.
