Zrav, what is this in reference to? As far as I know, China and India have always been at war footing or in hostility mode with each other. Even during the Indo-Chin bhai bhai (India-China brother-brother) years; China and India were at odds with each other as India supported Tibet over China and even gave sanctuary to the Dalai Lama and all Tibetans fleeing Tibet after the Chinese invasion.

I don't agree with your read of the situation. India is actively courting the US because trust or not the offset vs China and the money makes an allaince attractive. Plus the massive Indian migration to the US is building increasing ties.

zrav, Indian political situation cannot allow an Indo-US alliance in the Indian sphere. I mean, one can look at the Indo-US Nuclear deal for an example. The Congress government is in a position that if it goes ahead with the deal, its communist allies pull out of the coalition and it topples the government, hence, new elections. If, it rejects the deal, then although it stays in power, it looses huge support and credibility in the next election and on the international front. So, they just stall the deal hoping that when the US administration changes, the new US administration itself cancels the deal. Indian politics is quite pathetic, which almost every Indian is sick of.
