It was a TV spectacle on Indian media as well. The stark difference was about the subtle message - Inauguration happened out in the open in front of hundreds of thousands people. Contrast this with Indian President/Prime Minister oath taking ceremony that is really grand in pomp and show but confined to a hall behind walls and in front of no more than a couple of hundred people. Yes, TV telecast happens but the message is not in the telecast. Also, the position is transferred at the designated time irrespective of the time of oath taking. It is another matter that outgoing team is sent off with dignity that seems absent in Indian case.
Moving on from the core theme of only consumers to a broader Indian complexity. An amazing country that can be challenging to understand due to its diversity - economically, socially, linguistically, racially and what not. Enjoy the THALI as they say....
