Jimmy Carter’s connection with India, especially the village of Carterpuri (formerly Daulatpur Nasirabad) in Haryana, is a remarkable example of cultural diplomacy and the enduring impact of personal gestures. On January 3, 1978, Carter, accompanied by First Lady Rosalynn Carter, visited the village during his presidency. His visit, shortly after India transitioned away from the Emergency period, symbolized the strengthening ties between the United States and India.
