Re: Less than half Indians consider Bush a friend of India
A decade and a half? I think you are confusing a shift from suspicion to indifference for good relations. Can you highlight a few prominent positives of the decade and a half long cooperation between India and the US?
It isnt a decade yet since US imposed economic sanction on India, to get an NPT/CTBT signature. It is only post 9/11 that US has considered investing in friendly relations with India, but will not do so outright as long as Pakistan holds value for it, which will be quite a while.
As for curtailing outsourcing to India, is there really a more cost effective alternative? Would (even) an american president be stupid enough to strike hard at the heart of capitalism?
