'International relations' has become an important area in GS mains. An article CROSSCURRENTS IN INDIA-US TIES (the Hindu, July 16) throes some important light. Here is a list of issues briefly.
- The identity of views between India and US on various issues seem to be just on paper, not being observed in reality.
- So far as Nulear Liability bill is concerned, US is aagainst imposing liability on nuclear suppliers. But public opinion in India wants it to be so esp after Fukushima Disaster.
- The next thorn is 'Pakistan'. US military and financial aid to Pakistan has not stopped even after the latter's involvement in sheltering Laden. Despite Pakistan's involvement in terrorist acts in India. US still treats Pakistan as equal to India.
- India's apprehensions with respect post-2014 Afghanistan have been disregaded by US. US is moving forward into dialogue with Taliban against India's interests.
- Please note that the above issues are not to disregard the genuine betterment of IndoUS bilateral relationship.
A food-for-thought for readers: Whether lack of consonance between India and US arise out of genuine policy concerns or just a legacy of celebrated NON-ALIGNMENT.
