It's high time that India is invited to be a full member of G-7.

G-7 is passé, it's time to usher in G-10

Indian social networks can't have enough of the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's selfie with the stylishly dressed Indian Prime Minister; she looks like a college-going teenager overjoyed and overwhelmed to click a photo with her hero and exuberantly tweeting, "Hello, from Team #Melodi."

Even his worst critics will have to admit that our septuagenarian PM has mastered in his simple but unique ways of generating warmth, bonhomie and personal chemistry with world leaders so different from each other. What's common between Barack Obama and Donald Trump or Trump and Joe Biden or for that matter between Angela Merkel and Giorgia Meloni? Nothing at all. But Narendra Modi got along with all of them famously. Alas, Indians rarely get to see this smiling, laughing visage of their PM, certainly not during the election campaign.

He was invited to attend the G7 outreach sessions. In the group photograph, he is prominently placed in the centre. In brief, he was shown due respect and courtesy.
