Cool: Obama gives Indian PM Modi a rare book as a state gift
http://zeenews.india.com/news/india/will-cherish-forever-president-barack-obamas-valuable-gift-says-pm-modi_1479280.htmlObama gave Modi the original publication of the 1893 Parliament of Religions held in Chicago, including the paper by Vivekananda on Hinduism (the first time a Hindu addressed a mass US audience). Especially cool given Obama's Chicago connections, and that Modi and Vivekananda share the same first name. Classy.
Sure beats a DVD collection that's not encoded for the recipient's region...
