This G20 saw many things. Many topics were discussed ,some were very serious ,some were not . Our PM, Mr. Narendra Modi unveiled the Gandhi statue there and also met other Indians . Let us analyse the body language of our PM in G 20.
1. The Handshake
Researchers say, a good handshake is worth 3 hours long face to face conversation. So, if you want to give a good impression , have a good handshake. Handshake was given less importance until recently. Now, it is given a lot of weight,even the position of handshake also matters. There are 9 types of handshake,we will not go into detail of the types.
Let us look at the below picture.
In this picture , we can see what a dominating handshake looks like. The person who approaches with a palm down will automatically gain the upper hand. A person having the upper hand feels powerful.
We generally see, PM Modi giving a subjugating handshake, (which is done by person in white shirt in the above picture )but here we saw him with dominating handshake for few country leaders.

With Canadian President Stephen Harper
With French President Francois Hollande
With Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
With German Chancellor Angela Merkel
With US President Barack Obama
This kind of handshake shows, PM Modi is very confident and wants to give a signal to other countries that they should not take India lightly. India is to grow very fast and steady. It seems the signal was well perceived.
2. The trick
Brasilian President Dilma Rouseff ,however, gave our PM a double hander( kind of handshake ,where both the hands are used) which is still polite. She knows how to tackle a dominating handshake.
With Brazilian President Dilma Rouseff
Look at how the Brazilian President has clenched PM Modi's hand, implying she is equally powerful.
3. Open Posture
This time we saw another change in PM Modi's body language which is increased use of Illustrators and open postures.
Talking with the hands is the sign of honesty. It's like, our PM is saying " I have nothing to hide". The smile is also genuine as the eyes are contracted and cheek bone area is lifted,meaning, he is very much into the conversation with Putin.
4. Guarded
Our PM knows when to speak and what to speak. Look at the picture now.
Presence of both US and Russian President is making him a bit uncomfortable as he is playing with his fingers suggesting he is very cautious about the statements he is giving or about to give. When we are uncomfortable or feel vulnerable we close ourselves down. This is already in PM's mind ,that he should not close himself up but he has guarded himself with his arms in front of his chest.
5. Good move
Australian Prime Minister is very particular about his *image ( * I will be posting a whole blog dedicated to him and his image ) . He made sure he gave dominating handshake to every leader that comes on stage while greeting. This usually happens when the person positions himself in the right, then automatically the next person coming from left is going to get a dominating handshake and the other person has no other option but to subjugate.
Australian Prime Minister ,Tony Abbott
As per the plan , the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott offered the handshake, in the picture it looks like a normal handshake, but if you look carefully, you can see the position of President Tony's hand . He is trying to lift his arm, which is like putting effort to twist our PM's hand, to make it a subjugate handshake. Then he quickly comes forward and hugs our PM, put his hand on PM's back. And here's the twist, our PM pats him twice. The pat was so strong that it could be heard clearly in the video. When a handshake ends up in hug, and moreover, a pat in the back , it means, it's not equal. One who pats is the superior . Patting in the back is like treating the other person as a child like, good job son/girl.
Therefore, all efforts of Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott went Null & Void ,when the pat on the back happened.
Stay tuned for more...
