US-India Partnership Strengthened During Modi's State Visit with Biden

US President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the "defining" partnership between their countries during Modi's state visit to the US. The two countries agreed to terminate six outstanding disputes at the World Trade Organization and announced deals with General Electric and Micron. However, Modi's visit was met with protests due to his government's crackdown on dissent and accusations of not doing enough to protect minorities from violence and discrimination. Some liberal Democrats boycotted his speech at Congress, citing human rights concerns.
