Indo-US ties have evolved over the years into a special relationship that goes beyond either transactional business ties or incidental strategic alignment. Indo-US bilateral relations have developed into a multifaceted cooperative network that now encompasses every aspect of human life and state interactions at the domestic, regional, and international levels. For India, the US has become its most important international partner in the former’s quest for growth and status. For the US, India offers an opportunity to reaffirm its standing as an economic powerhouse and global leader. India-US bilateral ties have not generally been seen as an "alliance," particularly as the world has moved on from a politics of alliances. However, the multilayered strategic relationship between two of the world’s largest democracies could redefine Asian and global politics.

What are the Dimensions of Modi’s Visit to the US?

Deepening Partnership:

The Taliban, a religious fundamentalist organization, has moved swiftly to fill the power vacuum in Afghanistan created due to the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces from the beleaguered country that has yet to recover from the decades of instability due to external military interventions and the power struggle within. The Taliban previously ruled between 1996 and 2001, when they declared Afghanistan to be an Islamic Emirate. In 2021, the group has again announced the formation of an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Unlike during their previous stint in power, the Taliban has announced that they will respect the rights of women and minorities within the context of "sharia" law. Nonetheless, reports of problems and harsh action by Taliban fighters have been coming through social media.

What a Taliban- led Afghanistan Will Mean for India?

Containment Dilemma:

The United States and India share friendly bilateral relations encompassing trade, business, economic, defense, strategic, political and cultural relations. U.S.-India relations have evolved from being frosty during the Cold War to becoming transactional in the 1990s, and eventually gaining strategic significance in the twenty-first century.
