From the perspective of India, bilateral ties with the US will be transactional – New Delhi will concede more benefits to Washington, with a likely shrunk space for strategic autonomy and multi-alignment.
The strategic trends that America’s friends and foes will have to deal with are outcomes of a changing balance of power in the international system, and how Washington responds to such changes
ThePrint had previously reported that India & Russia are talking about 5 more regiments of the S-400, but no contracts are to be signed during the Russian president's visit.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Between socialist India of socialist Modi and reciprocal Trump, Indians will be the losers. We always choose poverty over prosperity after being indoctrinated by Jawaharlal Nehru Mohandas Gandhi.
India isn’t socialist and even Nehru seems to have had a poor understanding of true Socialism. India is more protectionist, with a small number of family dominated firms controlling the economy since India’s founding. Basically a poor and underdeveloped version of South Korea.
Seems like Trump may finally force India to carry out real economic reforms and liberalize the economy. Communist countries like China and Vietnam have more liberalized economies compared to India.
Look at Canada. Trump is doing more for the average Canadian then their current PM and he hasn’t even taken office. He has forced Canadians to reevaluate their immigration policy and is helping change the government.
I think Trump will be good for India in the long run. Give India a good kick in the pants to start getting serious, instead of daydreaming all the time.
Shrunk space for strategic autonomy and multi alignment … It is for the government to guard this space zealously. To not stop buying Russian oil, as happened for Iranian oil, as happened during President Trump’s first term. Although it is fashionable to mock the diplomacy of the past, India has in fact done a pretty decent job of safeguarding its national interests from foreign bullying.
