And that's not all:
When he met the president at the airport – a break from tradition – Modi was clad in a cream-colored outfit with a bright orange shawl with paisley at the ends draped over his shoulder. He donned a green safa with a large, red, circular plume and an orange scarf attached at the back to Monday’s Republic Day parade.ADDED: For comparison: The "Fuck You" tie.
... During a reception in the lavish garden of the presidential palace Monday afternoon, Modi wore a bright orange shirt and a cream-colored shawl draped over both shoulders. He wore another orange piece at the India-U.S. CEO forum later that day – what appeared to be a vest with a neutral shirt underneath.

dude is stylin'!
Watch it, Modi, you'll give Obama ideas...
If he leaves his garment bag on an airplane, they'll know who to contact about it.
Ann, do you think he could bring off shorts?
Reads like two queens trying to outdo each other.
I thought it was a neat idea. If you are wearing a pinstripe anything that design might as well say your name. He has a designer working with him and I have read that he is intent on showing India in a better light. We have to wait and see if it works.
Althouse, you should have a poll about how Obama might copy that. How many ways are there for Obama to put his name on things?
Fuck, this pisses me off. Googling 'Modi' you get this article at the top:
After hugs and handshakes, Obama has some tough love for Modi
Obama is lecturing Modi and India about religious tolerance. How about giving that same speech to your Muslim Brotherhood buddies, Fucker!
I love all the colors Indians wear.
Man of the people, and a walking jobs program. Also the perfect companion for the Prez. Peas in a pod.
"He donned a green safa with a large red, circular plume." What's a safa? There are very few garments that are enhanced with a large, red circular plume. I wonder if he has had his belly button blinged.
Did Obama really lecture Modi about religious tolerance? The Indians certainly have enough experience in people of conflicting religions trying to get along, or to exterminate each other, depending upon the mood and the leadership. But I guess that's over now. All that blood and hatred and psi and sorrow wiped away by a few well chosen words from an American president. If only we had fixed this problem sooner.
His mother sewed his name in, as she does with all his clothes.
Reminds me of those ties that look striped but if you get close enough you can read little "Fuck you"s all over it.
@David, did you read the article?
Anyway, this is what it says, a short excerpt: "At a time when India’s Hindu right-wing groups have been pushing for religious conversions and a member of parliament from Modi’s party publicly asked Hindu women to bear at least four children, Obama underlined the need for religious tolerance.
“Nowhere is it going to be more necessary to uphold religious faith than in India. India will succeed so long as it is not splintered on religious lines,” Obama said."
Let us see if the coward Obama has the same guts to tell his Muslim buddies about religious tolerance. Some tiny politician from Hindu party says something somewhere. But that is not reason to lecture Modi and India. Why the fuck does he do that when he does not have the courage to tell his Muslim buddies anything?
"Fuck you"s all over it.
Maybe that is where his designer got the idea from and that is what Modi is saying to Obama. It is all subliminal.
I like the pinstripe.
All politicians are vain, might as well be clever about it.
OT: Drudge is making a fuss about Obama popping his gum at the parade review. He was likely jones-ing for a cigarette and jet lagged, and should have used a nicotine patch instead.
Narendra is also a title in Sanscrit it means "Lord of Men." So he likes you to accurately know him.
Indians, or at least their rich people, used to be known for dressing splendidly, in bright colors, rich fabrics and huge turbans with jewels and plumes, and enormous moustaches. They should give all that a try again. Would be useful in negotiations, where the drab others would possibly subconsciously feel like flunkies.
Asking certain groups in India to have more babies is not new. There has been an official project for some years to help Parsis breed, as they are going extinct, and it seems Indians find them too valuable to lose.
Obama should ask American Jewish women to have more babies. The situation there is approaching critical.
The "Fuck You" is an old Chips (NYC) standard club tie, Chips still has them.

Obama should have worn his Nehru jacket.

Riiiight.
Now, go to Karachi, Pock-ee-stahn, and give the same lecture, you twit.
Then read up on the Mughul Empire for a little context and perspective.
Hint: India has been "splintered on religious lines" since the Muslims began their wave of invasions into the Indian subcontinent in the 10th century.
Modi rocked it on the fashion end of things. Made Michelle look completely drab.
Now, go to Karachi, Pock-ee-stahn, and give the same lecture, you twit.
Exactly right. Instead of praising India for its tolerance and peaceful coexistence with such diversity, he goes there and lectures them. What a buffoon!

Modi is a Hindu nationalist whose party has been tied to attacks on Christians as well as Muslims.
Indians deserve a lecture for electing him.
Senior Lecturer.
@Revenant
You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. There is ISIS, there is AQ and a whole lot in between and he goes there to lecture Modi? I know what Modi's party does/did and I don't think you do.
