The event was deemed historic as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump was seen sharing the stage for the first time. Around 50,000 Indian Americans were seen attending the event where the prime minister was addressing issues such as the abrogation of article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan sponsoring terrorism and also said, “Abki baar, Trump sarkar,” in a bid to campaign for the US president’s re-election in the presidential elections next year.
Modi took to Twitter to show his gratitude to President Trump, calling his presence in the event a “watershed’ moment for the India-US relationship.

Even renowned industrialist and Chairman of Mahindra group Anand Mahindra tweeted praising Modi for changing the perception about Indian in the United States.
I came to America as a student in ‘73 when the perception of India was still mired in the stereotype of snake charmers. I’m glad that I’ve lived long enough to see the perception of India & the bonds between the two nations elevated beyond anyone’s imagination. pic.twitter.com/2JGE07MqEw
