This article examines how India’s relationship with the United States has changed since the election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2014. The author contends that although Delhi previously followed an ambivalent and reactive foreign policy towards Washington, Modi has quickly shown the political will to find practical solutions on a number of issues, including nuclear and trade disputes, defense cooperation and climate change. The author also looks at what the US-Indian rapprochement implies for Delhi's relations with other Asian countries, particularly China.
