make friends with the US, and then you can do anything. The US has realized that India is one of its few allies in the world. There is some people in the US who still view India with condescension, esp the democrats, but then there are numerous Indians who still regard the US with suspicion, right? The differences will peter out in the next 10 years. Once we join the club of trusted US allies, like England, Australia, Israel and Canada (we are almost there already), dont worry, we will have no problem doing what we want, when we want.
