Strengthening US-Indo relations
R. Mohan, Nanyang Technological University | November 10, 2008
The next administration might find itself entangled in a dispute over Kashmir as Obama wants Pakistan to cooperate in Afghanistan. ++ Obama strongly acknowledges the importance of a Indo-US partnership, but what “Indians fear is that they are being asked to pick up the political tab for America's failed policy in Afghanistan.” ++ If Obama wants India to cooperate he should “develop a joint set of initiatives with India for the stabilization of the region.” ++ Unilateral approaches will result in an early foreign policy defeat.
