The shortened three-day visit is more symbolic than pragmatic, given the long-standing division between the two giants, which may be as huge as the distance between them

Modi’s repeated mention of “expansionism” and maritime terrorism, underlining the need to ensure freedom of navigation and over-flights suits the US, which has introduced the “pivot to Asia” and proposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership to counter China’s rise.

USA
==============================================
The Wall Street Journal,
Obama’s visit to India was expected to showcase the deepening relationship between the two countries, as well as a burgeoning personal relationship between the two leaders. Their rapport was on display at a news conference Sunday, during which Mr Obama joked that Mr Modi had been received like a Bollywood star during his visit to the US and said that the two leaders had compared sleep patterns

The New York Times
Mr Obama’s visit, his second as President, is a major event in India. Despite lingering distrust in many parts of the government, largely over Washington’s history of support for rival Pakistan, the United States enjoys widespread popularity among the general population

The understanding, though short on specifics, moves toward resolving one of a number of nuclear-related issues that have hamstrung the countries for years and has prevented the implementation of a landmark nuclear deal reached during the George W Bush administration.

PAKISTAN
==============================================
The Dawn
To be sure, there is an element of playing to the gallery involved in all such visits. Indian officialdom and its relatively nationalist media will likely try and elicit further comments on Pakistan from Mr Obama and other American officials that can be used by India to portray Pakistan in an even more negative manner. If they are to fail in that objective, perhaps some Indian official himself will say something provocative in the next three days to grab the headlines.

The News
Pakistan has itself been trying to cash a similar deal with the US, but the latter has remained hesitant. America’s decision not to grant the deal was framed famously by former President George W Bush who, during his visit to Islamabad in 2006, said, “I explained [to General Musharraf] that Pakistan and India are different countries with different needs and different histories.”
