| description | The evolution of India-US relations and India’s grand strategy over the past two decades is a result of changing power balances and an affirmation of structural realism. The end of the Cold War and the emergence of unipolarity opened the way for the US superpower to engage with India and for New Delhi to move away from Moscow and towards a partnership with Washington while maintaining an autonomous grand strategy of a rising power. In the past two decades, China’s rise as a major power in Asia has introduced propelled the partnership. Domestic politics also has played a role in the growing partnership, with the growth of capitalism and nationalism and the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a dominant political force. These factors have driven interest in the US partnership to counter China and its growing partnerships in South Asia and the spectre of encirclement. |
