So, now we know that Prime Minister Modi and Prime Minister Netanyahu are quite thick buddies.  Even though it was a bit exaggerated display of bonhomie by the two leaders, it is nobody's case that we should not have good friendly relations with Israel.  What I found most jarring amidst all this is that not even once did Mr. Modi either appreciate or acknowledged the contribution made by the architect of this relationship; former prime minister late P.V. Narasimha Rao.  In 1993, Mr. Rao went against the then prevailing consensus and decided that it is in India's national interest to have good relations with Israel.  By completely ignoring Narasimha Rao on this historic occasion, the prime minister has shown a complete lack of grace.  Don't be so obsessed with self-glorification and self-promotion Mr. Modi.
