I take it you dont want US for UNSC seat or any of it military technologies or to be included in the high tech dual tech permitted list it has or intelligence on terror networks, its investments in India, it push to have India accepted by NSG suppliers, its alliance on south china se, its free trade agreements etc etc...why would you with a genocidal supporter like the US?
JayATL and nitesh seems to be in foul mood today.
India does need all those things forty years after 1971. The news column being discussed is 40 years before.
American did support Pakistan as it suited their interests. Deployment of seventh fleets was to scare India on use of Nucs. Three battalions of Marines was meant to evacuate beseiged American and Pakistan assets in Bangladesh.
Those were cold war days.
Even today Amirkhans conduct regular studies how they would employ their forces in India in contingencies. Nothing wrong in it. When India grows in stature, Indians will also start thinking of employing their Marines to help out Americans on mainland.
Take it easy boys !
