Examine India's relationship with the USA.

                                   Or

Analyse India's growing relationship with USA.

Solution
During the Cold War years, India propogated the policy of non-alignment. It, however, maintained close ties the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the enviorment changed and India found herself friendless in an hostile international scene. At the same time, India's policy of liberalisation and globalisation led to impressive economic growth in recent years. This has made the country an attractive economic partner for a number of countries including the US. As a result of two new factors i.e., technological dimension and the role of the Indian-American diaspora a new relationship emerged. At present about 300,000 Indians work in Silicon Valley and 15 per cent of all high-tech start-ups are by Indian Americans.

There are different alternatives before India that can be adopted in relations with the US. These are to maintain aloofness from the US, to take advantage of US hegemony or to establish a coalition of developing countries to reduce US dominance. Whatever policy India adopts, the fact remains that the relationship with USA has changed and the two countries have come closer to each other.
