As the new power game being shaped in Asia in the 21 st century, there is a strong realization on the part of both US and India that they can no longer afford neutrality and the partnership between these two countries is indispensable to protect mutual interests. The partnership is also required for Asian security, stability and prosperity.
The Indo-US engagement can turn into security alliance on the basis of complementarities of interests. The shared interests in the multiple areas including security, non-proliferation, terrorism and open governance has created an environment and increased the prospects for security alliance. Apart from this, the
US and India share many common interests in South Asia right from maintaining regional balance of power, containing Chinese penetration into Indian ocean
,combating terrorism to discipline Pakistan. India and the US can cooperate in improving the region’s security and stability; to counter terrorism; to promote democracy; to prevent nuclear proliferation, and contain China
The Indo-US relations will alter the course of major events in Asia in future if this engagement turns into a formal alliance similar to US-Japan Security Alliance. Such alliance will act as a counterweight to the rising power of china and can stop the
Chinese juggernaut in Indian ocean.
The primary concern of US in south Asia is to prevent all out war between India and
Pakistan and ensure that the nuclear weapons of both countries are safe and not vulnerable to theft especially by the terrorists. The US is putting pressure on
Pakistan to stop cross border infiltration and on India to engage Pakistan in dialogue

India’s engagement with the US is both an opportunity and challenge to
India and vice versa .Considering the possibility of escalation of conflict with China over border issue and with Pakistan over Kashmir issue, India need to develop constructive relations with the US. Equally, the US should pay more attention to India considering its increasing influence in the region. It is necessary for US to support the development of India to ensure regional stability in Asia
India has big power aspirations. It is nurturing the dream of becoming regional super power. However Indian foreign policy does not seems to commensurate with its power ambitions. As several Indian and foreign analysts have observed, Indian foreign policy is an astonishingly risk averse foreign policy. India needs to draft a compressive national security strategy based on its power ambitions. India should strengthen its bilateral ties with the US based on shared political, security and economic interests.
In order to move the relationship forward both India and US requires continuous cooperation and consultation and few bold steps on regional and international issues. They need to intensify their dialogue on several issues. There are several untapped areas containing huge potential for cooperation.
