A study on Modi Government’s Pragmatic Approach towards Indo-US Strategic Consensus and co-operation in the defense sector

The nature of India's relations with the United States has changed during the last decade. Since we gained our independence, we have had a tense engagement with "the United States" marked by mutual suspicion, a lack of compassion, and significant philosophical differences. A natural alliance would suggest a fundamental congruence in thought and aspirations that would bring the two nations together, notwithstanding occasional conflicts. The nuclear agreement reached between India and the United States in 2005 allowed for closer cooperation between the two nations than had been possible previously. The deal's completion has eliminated strategic mistrust, paving the way for a significant rise in bilateral cooperation. This paper provides a basis for evaluating India's nuclear sector's prospects in the wake of the nuclear deal, details the challenges encountered by the CLNDA, and provides a high-level overview of the various strategies being considered for addressing the liability issue. Modi reaffirmed it, expressing optimism about the two countries’ continuing convergence. The groundwork he laid during his trip to the United States has laid the foundation for the quick and strong expansion of India’s and the United States’ multifaceted connections in the future years.
