Indian-American relations under the Biden administration: A Vision for the Future

Abstract

Growing concern about Chinese aggression in both New Delhi and Washington has led the US military establishment to seek tactical convergence in order to include India as a counterbalance to China. The United States and India, on the other hand, are dealing with difficult economic recovery at home after being destroyed by the Covid-19 global pandemic, and protectionist views are emerging, potentially compromising the relationship's promise. A true and extensive cooperation with India may underlie US policy throughout Asia and advance US foreign interests over the next decades, as Joe Biden does have the chance to deepen and strengthen the relationship after his victory in the US presidential election. According to this study, the Biden administration can implement a "natural relationship" [1] as described by previous presidents.
