A new era for US-India relations? Breaking down Modi's visit to the United States

ACCESS ASIA © FRANCE 24

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi was once denied a visa to enter the US on human rights grounds, effectively banning him from the country for a decade. But this week, the red carpet was rolled out for India's most powerful leader in decades. With the US in open conflict with Russia and having poor relations with China, India – which recently become the world's most populous country – appears increasingly attractive. FRANCE 24's Leela Jacinto gives us her analysis of Modi's visit.

Meanwhile, the world's most populous country is subject to the world's most frequent internet shutdowns. We take a look at why India has so many blackouts and how it affects daily life.

And you don't have to be an influencer to get paid to travel. We see how visitors to Taiwan have the chance to win €150 as the island tries to boost tourism back to pre-pandemic levels.
