PM Modi's decision to use the second and final day of his Group of 20 summit to remind his guests of the Father of Nation was another message signaling India's rise.
The monsoon rains eased as Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed world leaders to the Raj Ghat memorial complex in central Delhi on Sunday, site of the eternal flame that burns for Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhi led the nonviolent protests that brought India independence from British colonial rule in 1947. And PM Modi's decision to use the second and final day of his Group of 20 summit to remind his guests of the Father of Nation was another message signaling India's rise.
Symbolism is hard to escape in the so-called family photograph. It's a G-20 tradition that offers a rare, unvarnished glimpse of the interaction between leaders - the warmth or chill of greetings, the backslapping, side chats, scowls or moments of awkwardness - and so points to the state of world relations.
