Indians practice more religions than the populace of any other nation. Although they are almost 20 percent Muslim, they usually coexist peacefully in a climate of religious freedom. India, with the third-largest Muslim population in the world, has a Muslim president, yet religious fundamentalists do not control the country's agenda the way they do in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, America's preeminent allies in the region.

Religious freedom for Muslim? No fundamentalist? The author forgot what happened in Gujrat? :p
On the other hand, I do agree that Banglore being the Silicon Valley of India is beneficial to both countries. Cheap labor, yah prolly that too.
LoL! that was funny. Everyone knows pressler is involved in telecommunications

Mr. Pressler is looking out for his own interests.
What you guys miss is that this is the very reason US and India will get closer. Not because of some mutual enemy or anything but because of trade. It is only natural...democratic, open societies have much more on common than religion.

U.S. envoy: U.S., India face risk from rogue states or terrorists with weapons of mass destruction
Mon Jan 27, 3:32 AM ET
NEW DELHI, India - The United States and India both face the threat of possible attacks by terrorists or “rogue states” armed with weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. ambassador said Monday.
“Other nations may fade in the war against terrorism,” U.S. Ambassador Robert Blackwill told a conference on Asian security.** “India and the United States will be there at the finish, when we win.”
He said India and the United States share common interests in spreading peace and democracy in Asia, fighting terrorism and proliferation of nuclear weapons because “both India and the United States are principal victims of international terrorism.”
He said both nations “face a significant risk in the next few years from either terrorists or rogue states armed with weapons of mass destruction.” **
Blackwill cited Iraq and North Korea (news - web sites) as “dangerous cases,” a reference to international fears that the two countries have, or are developing, nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.
He also said the United States “wants terrorist infiltration from Pakistan to end permanently.”
He said Washington was "constantly " in touch with the government of Pakistan to discuss the issue, which was “high on our agenda.”
India and the United States describe Islamic militants based in Pakistan who cross into Indian territory to attack civilians and officials as terrorists.
Pakistan’s government denies that it supports terrorism, and says those fighting to separate the Muslim-majority region of Kashmir (news - web sites) from India are freedom fighters.
India and Pakistan both have nuclear weapons.

OK, I have a prize for guessing which 'rogue state' armed with WMD is a threat to India. I wonder why US Amb. chose to leave it vague, or probably he knows that everybody knows. :D

I dont know what your getting at considering both of us hate each other the U.S. knows that we will be too busy blowing up each other to threaten the world.
And if you dont belive me that the U.S. has no real intrest in India. Then just wait and see, and as far as the rouge state is concerned we the Pakistani's are more responsible then your pethetic people that mercelessly attack innocent muslims, do you see the Sikhs getting attacked in Pakistan, Do you see mass killings of Christains. NO!.. Period
whatever you say both countires have common interest
It is possible to imagine today that America’s most important alliance in the future will be built not along Europe’s historical and geographical fault lines, as NATO was and is, but along a confluence of democracy and vulnerability to religious-based terrorism and state-sponsored hostility. The United States, Israel, India and Russia fall on the same side of that line. They all pursue missile defense programs that could eventually reinforce each other’s security

Keep your cake and eat it!!
