Home run of Honolulu boy……Barak Hussein Obama

By Mayuresh Bhardwaj

Few hours ago commandment has changed its phase in American politics. Now Americans have hid new successor in office. A change in air can easily be sensed. It’s too early to conclude that change though. Today it’s very important to have some talk about the past of America. Let me take you to 2008 when it all started!!!!!!

A boy from Hawai instantly became the wonder boy of the United States of America (USA) politics. Initially it was very tough for him to convince his critics about his claim and also to win the trust of the most dynamic population. It was essential for him because he was the first African American to stand for that duty. But, as in his blood he knew to fight against odds and that too in a very balanced way. That journey of just a law person to the most powerful person of the world was not so easy but as they say “achievement is countable when it comes from odds”.

Barak Hussein Obama became a household name for the world. His graph of achievements justified his fame. Whether it was killing of world’s most wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden, or successful deployment of US military in the Middle East. He is also among the few intellectuals to win Nobel peace prize for his work. Of course he is known for his policies as president of the most powerful democracy but he has one more side which is loved by the commoners and that is his humble gesture and funny sense of humour.

Partnership between world’s largest (India) and world’s powerful democracy (USA) is also very defining in his tenure. In commercial gain Indian FDI from US became the highest of all time and two ways trade touched the magical figure of $109bn it is highest ever in 10 years of history. Defence sales also touched the new height of $15 billion. People to people ties became closer which is a good sign for the future of both the country.

In total we can say that his tenure was not just beneficial for American point of view but it has been a fruitful journey for us as well. Finally it’s time to say best of luck Mr Ex president. It has been a beautiful journey with you and you will always be our dearest from the west.
