New York sources reported that the Texas india Forum (TIF) that is organizing the event billed as a “community summit” said it expects tens of thousands of people at the event. The event is named alliteratively with a regional flavor for the common greeting spoken with a Texan drawl, “Howdy”, as shorthand for “How do you do.”
“There is unprecedented synergy between our region and the aspirations of a New india that Prime Minister Narendra modi represents”, said Jugal Malani, an event convener. Texas is the fastest growing large state in the US, both in population and the economy. “The American dream shares many similarities with emerging Indian dream, and an event of this scale suggests an opportunity to build bridges across two great democracies,” Malani added.
