His visit has sparked a debate on social media from those who love and loathe him in equal measure. We've been looking at some of your reactions to his visit.

More charismatic than Michael Jackson

Amitabh Lall emailed the BBC "Welcome Mr Modi. You have your supporters all over the world who appreciate the good work you have been doing all over the world and not just in India. I look forward to some landmark steps and deals that will benefit both the UK and India."

2002 religious riots

Narendra Modi is also is accused of doing little to stop the 2002 religious riots when more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed - allegations he has consistently denied.

Mr Modi became an international pariah after the riots - the US denied him visas and the UK cut off all ties with him. But a decade later, the controversial politician has been reintegrated into the political mainstream.

Ramesh Patel emailed "Many of us are extremely disappointed with this visit. Mr Modi is an extremist. He should not be granted the acclaim that Mr Cameron is giving this man. Modi does not believe in the core British values that Cameron has been bleating about. Modi is an extremist who will pose a great danger to the world if he is not stopped.
