I congratulate you on a finely nuanced piece. It only goes to show that in the tricky geopolitical arena, everything is transient and indeed everything is possible. India would do well to forge a string of alliances with China, Russia and the EU, rather than cling on to the US' apron. History has proved that Washington's stratgeic allies are immensely dispensable. India could also do well to forge stronger influence in S.E. Asia, the only area of strategic influence given India's rather unflattering geopolitical location.
