The crowd erupted in cheers as Obama, along with first lady Michelle Obama, emerged from their armored limousine and took their place on the rain-soaked parade route in the capital of New Delhi. The parade was the centerpiece of Obama's three-day visit to India, which is aimed at strengthening a relationship between the world's largest democracies that has at times been fraught with tension and suspicion.
