Howdy Modi - Uniting Indian Diaspora


As a NRI living in US, I used to various associations like Gujarathi, Tamil, Telugu, Telangana associations etc., But when India was bad mouthed in Western press after Article 370 removal on behalf of Muslim brotherhood, felt like need of United Indian voice. While Pakistani officials spread rumors in Twitter, they kept debunked by various fact finding organizations. But voice isnt enough to make it to main stream media.

On the other hand, India as a nation is so diversified , that each state has its own culture, norms, cousins. Traditionally these differences kept Indians abroad apart coming under one umbrella. Since there is no external uniting force, looks like Modi has taken it upon himself to bring all onto one platform.


As per 2015 estimates, around 1.5Million are Indian Americans with voting rights. Refer https://aapidata.github.io/quick_stats/national_data.html
and another 300K are pending with approved green card petitions.
While these folks are staring at decades long waiting period, Legislation in progress to remove the bottlenecks and address this unrealistic wait times.
Hope the show of strength, will represent as one unifying force, resulting as addressing their concerns.



Crowd turnout

 50,000 turn out in Houston, Texas is nothing compared to 4.5 Million (2017 estimate refer :https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_17_1YR_B02018&prodType=table ) Indian American living in USA.

PMs Message / Take aways:

 










US Political impact



























Burn-oil moments for PAK




















Last but not least, Anti India forces painting India as a Hindu Republic and instigating Muslims. This need to be fixed.

Here is my first Tensorflow run to convert images to different styles of famous painters I am using the code that is available at  https://github.com/lengstrom/fast-style-transfer It uses specific versions of below libraries !apt install ffmpeg !pip install tensorflow==0.12.1 !pip install numpy==1.11.2 !pip install scipy==0.18.1 !pip install pillow==3.4.2 I started with latest version and that triggered failure after failure.

Issue #1 :  Phone randomly restarts and then goes to boot loop Workaround : when the phone stuck in boot loop (with OnePlus logo animation), Press Power Button and Volume Down button to restart it Issue #2 : Google play wont work Work Around : Booting to recovery and clearing cache is expected to fix this. will update after testing To booting to recovery, Firstly, turn off your phone: press and hold the Power button for a while or press the Power key once and choose ‘power off’.
