Volume: 6 Issue: 2 2016

Abstract:

With the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Indo-US relations indeed got a chance for positive transformations. India lost formidable friend and a big market for its exports with the disintegration of the USSR and Russia the successor of the Soviet Union refused to supply military equipments at the discounted price of the USSR. With the loss of the USSR as a dependable ally both in military terms and in the UN. , with the US as sole super power, with the rise of China and with Pakistan’s growing confidence after the Soviet Union pullout from Afghanistan, India had to rethink its relations with the US. In other words all these factors actually led to greater engagement between the two countries.
