Don’t expect a U.S.-India alliance anytime soon — if ever
There were 7,000 cheering supporters who greeted him at the White House. Modi was treated to a lavish state dinner by President Joe Biden, who acted as if the two were the best of friends. Lawmakers from both parties gave Modi rapturous standing ovations as he delivered an address to a joint session of Congress, the second of his decadelong tenure.
But make no mistake: just because U.S.-India ties are on the upswing does not mean the two countries are flirting with some grand strategic alliance.India is, quite frankly, a selfish country."Selfish," in this case, is actually a glowing attribute. Individual states need to be selfish in order to survive, prosper and maintain maximum flexibility.
India, however, does what it wants, when it wants. Interests, not feelings or values, are the foundation of the country’s foreign policy. Whereas the U.S. views the word"alliance" in positive-sum terms, India views it as akin to locking yourself in handcuffs.
