India and China: A New Strategic Bond

Fire of Liberty

According to this article in The Financial Times, India and the US are developing stronger diplomatic/military ties which ensure a healthy strategic partnership in this volatile region. With the Chinese Dragon slowly but surely emerging in the region, the US has decided to ensure that it can apply some brakes on Beijing by teaming up with an Anglosphere cousin. Though India and the US have disagreed on various problems since 1948, they're still one thing better than China, which is their both democratic nation-states who know tyranny when they see it. I hope this relationship blossoms into one of the greatest strategic relationships on par with NATO, UK, Japan and Israel. We might have our ups and downs but this relationship has only blue skies before it.
