Suswagatam, Vance Family, To India

Prime Minister Modi is all set to welcome the Vance family, and more as an American family with roots in India rather than just as the family of the Vice-President of the US.

From the start of Modi 3.0, with the unerring calculation of a compass, PM Modi understood that the key to Superpower India was a close relationship with the US. And that a key figure in the US was the young Vice-President and his telegenic wife. As for Vance, in the days before he began his astonishingly fast ascent up the ladder of politics, he wrote a book, "Hillbilly Elegy," which merits being read by people across the world, as indeed it has been in India. It is an autobiography written in the most honest of colors. No effort was made to conceal or to embellish the milestones in his life. It tells of a young lad born into a single-parent family back of the beyond, hillbilly country. It describes in stark detail the addiction to alcohol of his mother, something which she subsequently put behind her with courage and endurance.
