Does The U.S. Need India More Than India Needs The U.S.? | AJ+

India and the United States have a pretty tight relationship, but maybe the U.S. needs India more than India needs it? Like all long-term relationships, this one's had a lot of ups and downs, but they've stuck together. For the U.S., India has been the nuclear and economic powerhouse in Asia that can be used to push back against expanding Chinese influence. For India, the U.S. is a good military and economic ally. But that's about it, because it seems India isn't looking to rely on anyone - including its biggest ally.

Yea independence was simply a joke. It's just a huge mental trick on most people like the theater of politics. It's not like they gave up the business' they set up to take the resources from their colonies. They just realized once we force everyone into our economic model and write the laws the way we want, we can take what we want "legally" without having to hold an empire by force. (because that meant fighting people in the colonies and a growing section of their own people who are vocally against empire) But the reality is you can control other nations through cultural colonization and economic colonization far easier than sending in armies. There are not too many high earning positions or fields where being more like your former colonizers isn't a huge advantage even now. And if you look at things like modern Bollywood, you can clear the level of cultural colonization that exists within India.

India has history of being richest country in the world until British invaded, looted and divided it. India is not just developing its reclaiming its superpower.

[@leronm5039]

By the same logic, some west and central African rulers were the richest in the world, and in recorded history for that matter, but look at where Africa is now. Its situation is getting better, but because of colonization etc. its nowhere near where it could be economically and technologically, and sadly probably never will be. Also, what does it matter if you're good at a game when someone else makes and has the power to change the rules? The issue with nationalism is that it makes people think they're something special, which can easily lead to them becoming pawns. India's economy isn't the best, mostly due to population and the after effects of colonization, but still India can't "regain" what it never really had. The global economy is centered in the west (not manufacturing though, which is mostly China), and money isn't backed by anything tangible nowadays (there's not enough gold, silver, etc. to back currency; thus the existence of things like Bitcoin), which means that its Western nations that ultimately pull the strings on the value of money, which is all arbitrary in reality. Because currency doesn't have value unless the West gives it value, how's the rest of the world going to "reclaim" it? Also, Indians getting jobs over others in the west only builds western economies, and makes the West more appealing to Indians, further growing the influence of western powers and diminishing India's power. What's sad about international relations nowadays is that its all about who gets to pull the strings, and who gets a larger slice of influence, and a byproduct of such is people thinking that their something great because of a perception of superiority or "talent". Though, I gotta say, I love India, no matter how many empires, economies, or nations fail, its culture still withholds.

The guy above was talking about a general households in India that were so rich before British Invasion. Every home had piles of gold lying down in one corner of the homes. People had so much wealth. India contributed more than 23-24% of global trade back then. Only below china at that time. And then when British came and looted and went back, that global trade was down to 0.4%. because they looted every home. Gold jewelry, textiles, and even food.

fantastic analysis and snapshot of this topic

[@RishabhKumar-yj5qw]

India was not formed as majority Hindu nation. India was conceived as secular nation from the get go and Muslims couldn't bear living with us unclean idolatrous folks, so they formed a majority Muslim country thus establishing the first Islamic Republic in history.

Finally someone pointed it out in the comments and it's you. xD -Anand Jain

[@pratikvarma9915]

Rishabh Kumar Actually India was made for Indians and Pakistan for Muslims... Now see the results after 70 years.. We have created biggest force of doctors and engineers and are one of the major world economic powers.. And Pakistan is biggest manufacturing plant for terrorists.... And still they live in dream world that someday they will beat India. 😁 😂 😂 😂

[@MrPoornakumar]

Wow ! Rishabh Kumar! This was the first time I ever saw someone articulating this fact, so clearly enunciating I think the western press should memorize this, before opening their mouth on commenting on India. It is how Pakistan convinced them that 'Muslim' Kashmir should belong to Muslim Pakistan & Not Hindu (?) India. Good riddance. But then one would expect Pakistan (in 1947) to maintain peace on the borders; in any case not after they killed the 'Two Nation' thesis on Bangla soil. There is no higher hypocrisy than that thesis. A nation has been founded on a false thesis. Shameful !

[@sachinnaik966]

Rishabh Kumar Abe so put a petition in suprecourt for Hindu nation all Hindu will support u bese we are in majority so stupid wasting coment hre

[@MrPoornakumar]

Spire32 ! Jinnah proposed that India actually are composed of two nations & so wanted partition, creating a separate nation for Muslims that never existed in history before. Indian leaders rejected two nation thesis, but when Jinnah began direct action, the other leaders were forced to accept his thesis for the safety of people who were getting killed in lakhs. Country was partitioned. But none can tell Muslims in India to leave this country & go to a newly created Pakistan.These are committed to rejecting the two nation thesis. The Muslims got divided equally in numbers to India, Pakistan & Bangladesh. Because India was for all, not just for Hindus & definitely not for driving out Muslims, Kashmir state opted for India (Sheikh Abdulla was responsible), there were always who oppose the popular view though. That strength of Indian argument is the conviction, supplied to India's actions in this regard. If we are convinced & accepted Two nation thesis, we would be convinced that Kashmir should be with Pakistan. It amounts to accepting Pakistan's thesis & following it. Pakistan too misled rest of the world that 'Pakistan for Muslims only & Hindustan for Hindus only'. And they all voted in UN for Pakistan because their thinking accepted too, this 'simplistic' logic. Now one by one they are coming around to realise this as a mistake.

People who are showering love towards Russia, should understand that India was cash cow to Soviet union because we used to buy arms from them. Soviet union and Russia are in reality Allies to Congress party and not India. They kept India dependent on Russian arms which are substandard when compared to western made arms. On the other hand 4 million IT jobs were created in India Because of American and European companies who outsourced their work to here. How many millions of white collared jobs did Soviet union and present day Russia has created in India? When one has an opportunity to work or study abroad most of us choose USA and it's allied countries,not Russia. We have more cultural ties with USA and almost negligible with Russia because of Indian diaspora that has settled in USA and other allied nations of America.

[@arkuis]

"India has spent 70 years dictating its own direction, and maybe because of that it does not need the United States for its own future"... Er.. no, that is not how geopolitics works. Countries don't 'need' or not 'need' each other (what ever 'need' means to AJ+) because they have decided to be isolationist or not. Countries cooperate when they have strongly aligned interests and conflict when they have opposing interests. India and the US have strongly aligned interests so if they want to achieve those interests then they 'need' each other. Additionally even if that was the case, how does that mean that the USA 'needs' India? To what end and why. Apart from a basic history of Indian/US relations which we could have gotten a better version from Wikipedia this video says very little about the need of one for the other.

[@Observer9812]

Every US govt survives on war. Period. With the war on ISIS almost being brought to a close, there is no other green pastures(countries to war with) for the US. Trump has made it clear that USA doesn't need to be the moral police of the whole wide world. So he is far from interested in starting a new war. To balance the defence side of things, he has increased the trade deals with India to $600 billion within the next 6 months. So yes, USA does need India more than India needs them.

[@rajaraogaddangi8638]

[@arkuis]

Constantly fighting wars seems to be the fate of Hegemonic great powers no matter who they are throughout history and around the world. However to say that "Every US govt survives on war" is a) ignorant of US history as the US has experienced significant periods of peace through out its 245 or so year long history, b) ignores that when compared to other significantly large countries it is not that much more war like, c) is irrelevant to the point of both this video and my comment to which you have replied to. The subject here is US/Indian relations, not the US's real or imagined militarism.

[@AshishYadav-vl1nw]

arkuis - you nailed it...my man...better videos at caspianreport

[@arkuis]

Yes, I was actually thinking of recommending a Caspian Report video. I suspect that the realist analytical prism that Shirvan uses on Caspian is not compatible with the more... well I am not so sure what analytical tools AJ+ uses for their geo-political analysis because they dont do any real analysis. Instead they just give us history... which I suspect kinda makes them Constructivists or Postcolonial in their approach to international relations. Personally I think the realist or realpolitik approach of Caspain or Stratfor is far more informative and robust.

[@vishalaaa1]

Without any rivalry with India, USA directly supported Pakistan and China. India never went against USA. It was all US interest to support Pakistan and china for more power. India has a very big potential to grow above USA with almost 20% of worlds population. Why will India take sanctions ? India is not a small country like north Korea or Japan. Countries like USA, Russia, China and India are different. They hit back on Sanctions as they know their potential, India is in tropical region with a very good rainfall and high quality soil for agriculture. Self sufficient. We are not middle east to struggle for water and food. Surprisingly India faced sanctions even after being the Democray who dont have any prior history of starting a single war.
