Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, has arrived in India on a two-day visit. His agenda includes a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi as well as attending the two-day Internet.org summit, which aims to make web use more affordable and accessible.
As is well known, Modi has been very active on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, so he and Zuckerberg are expected to discuss the Indian government efforts to collaborate with Internet.org’s plan to expand net usage. Modi’s Digital India plan has some similar goals.

— Sonal Kalra (@sonalkalra) October 9, 2014Ravi Teja should fly down to Delhi. Just to stand next to Mark Zuckerberg, look into the camera, and say "Teja main hoon, Mark idhar hai."

— Nimish Dubey (@nimishdubey) October 9, 2014Mark Zuckerberg is in New Delhi today? May he dress as a girl and travel in our buses to study this Poking business.
— MrMrRajneesh (@MrMrRajneesh) October 9, 2014Mark Zuckerberg to meet Modi this week. Probably even he's pissed off with Indians sending him Candy Crush requests on his own website.
— Hardik Rajgor (@Hardism) October 9, 2014Mark Zuckerberg to meet Modi; with habit of throwing unrelated cliches, PM will probably end the meeting saying, "Stay hungry. Stay foolish"
