India’s relationship with US became closer when, during the bilateral discussions with PM Modi on Friday, 24 September 2021, President Biden conjured up a memory of his relatives living in Bombay. He said that once when he was first elected to the United States’ Senate, he got a letter from a man in Mumbai whose last name was also Biden. Later, on his visit to India as the Vice president Indian press confirmed that a few Bidens lived in the country. He accepted that he is a lineal descendant of a Captain George Biden of the East India Tea Company, who “apparently settled in India in colonial times and married an Indian woman” but he'd never had a chance to follow up.
“You’re here in Washington to help me find more about my relatives in India,” Joked the President, pointing to PM Modi.
“Yes, I have documentary evidence to prove your Mumbai connection,” Replied PM Modi.
The President rejoined, "Was I really related?"
“The 46th US President do, indeed, have family connections to my country,” confirmed the Prime Minister. .
Thus India and America drew as close as a family.
