Sometimes the shortest messages are the best.
Good friend and colleague Vinay Sarawagi is Senior Vice President Digital for the Times Network and is based in Delhi.
If you think India has shifted “our way” or is ready to follow “our friends” then here is some food for thought – so simply and elegantly put by Vinay.
🌍 India’s growing role in containing China’s power will be on its own terms, not as an appendage of the United States.
🤝 Collaborating with India in the Indian Ocean and developing niche military capabilities can strengthen the US-Indian partnership for regional security.
🔒 A realistic and resilient strategic partnership with India can contribute to stability without imposing unreasonable expectations, benefiting both nations and deterring potential crises.
Makes sense to me – INTO INDIA has long had reservations about the cheerleaders who think via the QUAD and other moves that India is somehow now part of the US alliance.
Not happening.
