The “Howdy Modi” event here on Sunday, which President Donal Trump is attending, will be the largest gathering for an elected foreign leader other than the Pope, the organizers said here on Friday and noted that it will be a celebration of the cultures of India and the US.
Meanwhile, the stage is all set at the sprawling NRG stadium for the event which is to be attended by close to 50,000 Indian-Americans.
