Howdy Modi: Watch how PM Modi connected with the audience

 It was a masterful stroke in strategic thinking - getting a 50,000-strong crowd of roaring and cheering Indian-Americans to stand up and back the Indian Parliaments move to revoke special status for Kashmir, and again getting them to give a standing ovation to US President Donald Trump for his "strong determination" to fight terrorism, in a thinly veiled reference to Pakistan.
With one fell swoop, Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only brought live to the US audience, comprising not just President Trump but also a large gathering of elected US officials, including Governors, Senators and Representatives, from both the Democrats and Republicans.
