India-US Relations

India-US Relations refer to the diplomatic, economic, military, and cultural interactions between India and the United States. These relations have evolved significantly since India’s independence in 1947, characterized by periods of both alignment and divergence. Initially marked by India’s non-aligned stance during the Cold War, relations began to improve in the 1990s following economic liberalization in India and a shared interest in countering terrorism and promoting regional stability. Key elements of the relationship include trade cooperation, defense partnerships, strategic dialogues, and collaboration on global issues such as climate change and health. Both nations engage in dialogues and agreements to enhance cooperation on security, technology, education, and cultural exchanges. The relationship is often viewed as a crucial partnership in the context of geopolitical dynamics in Asia and globally.
