    India-US Ties Are Strong – But For A Price

    Let this be clear- India didn't have much of a say prior to 2014. So, it is not possible to change that suddenly and build aems and bases. The USA has already announced withdrawal of their bases by 2030. Trump himself said this when announcing 110 billion dollar deal. Indua doesn't make arms...

    Trump is not the owner of the world. Trump can only do so much. Blaming Trump serves no purpose. Indian representation in major organisation does not exist because India was not a major military power. If India becomes a major technological power, India will have to be made part of major...

    Telling lies is not the right way of arguing. Pakistan imports almost all of its defence needs whereas India makes its own products in many sectors. The amount of absolute import required is quite low and India is well capable of making most of the defence needs in India. Pakistan can make...

    Let this b very clear - USA is ahead of India in software but that does not mean India is critically behind. It is only slightly behind and that is easily bridged in couple of years. USA softwares are not state of the art. So, India does not depend of USA for softwares except in some cases...

    Let it be very clear - USA gets petrodollars which means that oil from middle east is sold in dollars. That is why USA patrols the oceans. It was not that before USA started patrolling there was no trade. Also, there is no reason to keep China in check instead of USA in check. USA sided with...

    India-US Ties Are Strong – But For A Price

    India must play both sides but never agree to any one-sided demands. India must always play in strength and not agree to sign things like COMCASA without getting sufficiently high ToT. Spurning USA makes no sense but it must be made very clear that hard bargaining tactics from USA will not work...

    India-US Ties Are Strong – But For A Price

    What imports will India need in defence after 10 years? The way I see it is that India will be almost self sufficient in defence in 10 years. India is making rapid progress in almost all forms of technology and is unlikely to need much defence imports in the future. All items including radars...
