In this special episode of National Security Conversations, Happymon Jacob is joined by former foreign secretary of India Nirupama Menon Rao and South Asia bureau chief for The Economist magazine Max Rodenbeck to discuss the future of India-US relations under a US administration led by Joe Biden.
The panel discusses the current state of India-US relations and assesses whether a more democratic administration in Washington DC would change the character and course of the robust India-US strategic partnership. The panel examines the sources of the bipartisan support for India in the US, how the China challenge has brought the two sides closer than ever, and the potential geopolitical changes under the Biden administration in the US and their impact on India.
