us news: an emerging alliance with india

jul 4th

interesting that this commentator thinks this is a good deal for the us, and sees the value in an asia-pacific alliance aimed at containing china: the moral equivalent of NATO which was intended to contain the soviet union.

Lack of extensive reporting has dimmed the role of India in the CAS. India enjoys a lot of goodwill - thanks to Bollywood and cheap pharmaceuticals and various other subsidies that India doles out. Of course all these efforts are subsumed by the massive presence of Chinese companies, so it is imperative to cash in soon.
I am not sure if one has to side with the US in their efforts for active presence in CAS - it is in their best interest to keep the tin pot dictators in place and help prevent Chinese invasion. We could keep in mind the following saying "behti hui ganga mein apne haath dho lo"
