India: Naval Expansion

Fire of Liberty

The Financial Times has an article on India building its third aircraft carrier. This is definitely good news for the US, Australia and Japan who are currently looking for a way to control the rise of China. Even better, India is a democracy who is on good terms with the US. I kind of find it very ironic that India is considered in some parts of the World as a third-world nation but will have more aircraft carriers than the French and British do. I just hope India and the US become greater allies, we need a steady partner in this region. Speaking about this burgeoning relationship, check out James C. Bennett's book The Anglosphere Challenge.
