In a whirlwind two-day visit, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Trinidad and Tobago on July 3, marking the first bilateral visit by an Indian PM since 1999.

What followed was a spectacle of culture, ceremony and a fair bit of chaos – both on the ground and across the ever-feverish world of social media.

As the US$980 million Boeing 777, Air India One, touched down around 3.30 pm, Modi was first greeted on the plane by Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Sean Sobers.
