Clinton has a hard task to make visit to india a success
For a Secretary of State to President Barrack Obama, who has captured the imagination of India, a person, who is well known and liked in India, the first chair of the India "Caucus" in the Senate, a presidential candidate, who received massive support from the Indian Americans, Hillary Clinton is arriving in India a little too late.
She has been in office for nearly six months and she has already visited some other countries in Asia and some of her pronouncements in China have caused concern in India. There are other reasons for her to reassure India that the strategic partnership between the two countries is intact. She, therefore, has a hard task ahead of her to make the visit a success.
