Some observers believe that the American era is coming to an end, as the Western-oriented world order is replaced by one increasingly dominated by the East.

Realists go on to note that as China gets more powerful and the United States' position erodes, two things are likely to happen: China will try to use its growing influence to reshape the rules and institutions of the international system to better serve its interests, and other states in the system -- especially the declining hegemon -- will start to see China as a growing security threat
Lobbying was extensive to get a time slot for Modi to meet US President Obama. Failure in this regard is a big blow, & with Obama taking out time to meet Xi is a further blow & slap.

Dont forget american guv had to invite modi-Close aides of Modi – a former tea-seller who came from humble origins to win power in a nation of 1.25 billion – have described how, around a year before his electoral victory, he rejected suggestions that he should lobby to end the visa ban and boycott, arguing that Washington would "come to him" when the time was right.
Modi's campaign stressed the importance of reinvigorating India's flagging economy and he is likely to place ambitions for greater commercial ties with the US before any personal resentment, analysts say.
"We don't really know what he feels personally, but the US has been working hard trying to woo India [since the election] so they've clearly understood there is a new game in town. The Chinese have also been very active," said Manoj Joshi, a security expert at the Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation.
US strategists have said it is hoped India would help counterbalance an increasingly powerful China both in the region and further afield.
However Modi, whose few trips abroad before taking power were largely confined to east Asia, has long had a good relationship with Beijing and is known to admire China's economic achievements.( The4 gaudian)

Modi wanted to meet Obama personally this time to invite him for a last visit to India(specially a visit to Gujarat) before he lays down office( as per one western paper HP). Such type of invitations are on one to one basis. Obama is visiting China in September 2016,when China will be hosting the G20 forum in Hangzhou.
