INDIA-US RELATIONS: A ROAD MAP FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

The India-US relationship has to be developed in the broader context of international politics. Both nations have realised that their interests on issues, from terrorism to non-proliferation, from development to economic growth, and increasing understanding of the aspirations of the other converge. This diverse agenda ranging from terrorism and defence cooperation to trade and investment, from climate change and nuclear energy to higher education and building smart cities, is a reflection of both the depth of India-US relations and the scope of cooperation between the two countries.

This paper examines the nature of India and the US relations. The relations between two the states have improved in the post−/11 era. The willingness of the US to provide India political support at the regional and global level is one aspect that resulted in changing the nature of that relationship. Second, growing defense ties both in conventional and nonconventional sectors fundamentally galvanized the nature of that relationship. This paper further analyzes the geopolitical compulsion of both states to counter various state and non-state actors' threats such as China's increasing maritime presence in the Indian Ocean region and terrorism. Moreover, this discussion argues about the political, strategic, commercial aspects of the strategic partnership till date. Much part of this paper analyzes what is the nature of this relationship and how it developed?

There is little doubt that during the post Cold War period, India-U.S. relationship has attained the level of maturity and strength that was unimaginable during the Cold War period. Official visits of three consecutive American Presidents to India since 2000 are a few among many instances of this mature relationship during the post Cold War phase. But has the relationship moved on the expected route after the end of the Cold War? The time is appropriate for a clinical appraisal of India-U.S. relations two decades after the end of the Cold War. The present article wishes to examine the post Cold War ‘Expectations’ and ‘Reality’ in Indo-U.S. relations and propose a future course of action that may help to strengthen further the bilateral relationship of two major actors in international politics today. The article emanates from a theoretical interest to review current bilateral relations in the perspective of relations immediately after the end of the Cold War. It begins with Expectations in bilateral relationship that people in both countries nurtured after the end of the cold War in 1991, with a view to examine whether these expectations were realized, and what could be done to augment relations in future.

Asia Policy, 2019

This special issue of Asia Policy scrutinizes the Indo-U.S. strategic partnership by examining the prospects for bilateral cooperation in Asia. Although peacetime foreign policy collaboration between major powers is a rarity, China’s rapid rise in the international system appears to have forced the United States and India into unusually close consultation on regional security issues. Will this consultation mature into active cooperation? To answer this question, this introductory essay first examines the concept of strategic partnership—a nebulous type of political relationship that has proliferated since the end of the Cold War. It then highlights the obstacles to peacetime cooperation between major powers in other regions of the world. Following this, attention turns to the articles in this special issue, which examine the history of Indo-U.S. cooperation in various subregions of Asia. Collectively, these articles challenge misperceptions and misunderstandings of each country’s policies and past behavior, as well as identify the differing understandings they have of both the bilateral relationship and the region. Taken together, they provide a clearer sense of the geopolitical scope and depth, as well as the important limitations, of the Indo-U.S. strategic partnership. This essay concludes by identifying the key insights that come from this collection and offers some thoughts on the overall trajectory of bilateral relations. POLICY IMPLICATIONS Bilateral Indo-U.S. cooperation in Asia is often hindered by an “absent dialogue” between the two sides, highlighting the need for constant communication between officials in both countries. Although there is an apparent congruence of interests in the countries’ regional and foreign policy objectives, sustaining and developing the Indo-U.S. strategic partnership will require considerable attention and imagination. India and the United States urgently need to focus on developing infrastructure and enhancing connectivity in Asia.

President Barak Obama's visit to India is an attempt to fulfill the need to re-energized India US relations. Both are looking towards each other as friends and potential partners in strategic, economic and military fields.

The factors like poverty, inequality, terrorism, internal and external threats are forcing the states to opt the comprehensive security approach to meet these challenges .The strategic dialogue between US and India is taking place since 2001.This process is further strengthening the relations which are more specific and dimensional now. This present study is an attempt to evaluate India-US relations with this perspective. While concluding the argument it seems as the new geo political landscape is mapped out.

This article examines how India-US relations during the Cold War period, marked by confrontation and mistrust, ushered in mutual cooperation in various fields ranging from defence and security cooperation to the nuclear deal, and counter-terrorism initiatives to the “strategic partnership” between them. The article further argues that during the Cold War era, India’s relations were examined purely from the ideological perspective but after the end of the Cold War in 1990 and the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, geopolitical equations changed. The article evaluates those factors which brought New Delhi and Washington closer to each other.It discusses how the two Cold War antagonists-India and America- became close strategic partners in defence, security, space, trade and investment fields. Also, it discusses how China has emerged as a crucial factor in the growing ties between New Delhi and Washington.

The two largest democratic countries India and U.S.A.'s relationship is as complex as it is varied, and is distinguished by a largely unsuccessful search for common ground. Three main parameters have played a role in Indio-US relations over the years-Ideology, Strategy and Values. Variously, over time, they have had the effect of creating incentives for divergence or convergence in the relationship. The emphasis is clearly to be seen. In the last 4 years, India's proactive and pragmatic diplomatic initiatives have led to high-level engagement with unprecedented number of countries. Prime Minister Modi has focused specifically on strengthening Indian-American economic, political and security ties. Prime Minister Modi often employs the concept of ‗three Ds'-Democracy, Demography and Demand-in his spiels about India's rise and inherent strengths.1
