India-US Relations

The end of shared values and a shift to a more transactional relationship have several implications for both countries.

The U.S. President sees ties with India as vital to tackling challenges emanating from climate change, disruptions related to AI, and a rising China.

When Modi goes to Washington, the two sides are likely to sweep their problems under the carpet.

A policy that does not respect that India does not need lessons in how to run its domestic affairs could push New Delhi to close ranks with other countries against the U.S.

The two sides are looking to make the American and Indian semiconductor industries complementary rather than competitive.

Russia and China are moving toward an alliance. Does India have the means to beat China at its own game with a counter-encirclement?

The two countries should support democratic values, including the international rule of law, in their relations with the rest of the world.

This doctrine is grounded firmly in history and in two analytic divides: East vs. West and India's political vs. non-political interests.

While differences between the U.S. and India have widened, Beijing and New Delhi have made similar statements on the Ukraine conflict.

India can expect to maximize its relations with the U.S. without worrying about the Pakistan factor.

The year 2016 has been a year of dramatic changes which are only likely to gain further momentum in the coming years.
