This will be PM Modi's first visit to the US after Donald Trump assumed office in January this year after coming back to power for a historic second term.
The visit also comes amid a massive row in India over the deportation of 104 Indian migrants recently who were chained and handcuffed during the process and the entire 24-hour flight.
Opposition leaders have slammed the Modi government over the way the deportation has been carried out.
