Sir: Mr. Sikri has hit the nail right on the head. It is a pipe-dream of all governments at centre, regardless of their political affiliations to have an equal relationship with the U S of A.
However hard a country tries, the U S will make sure that they are the First among the equals.
India should give up this grandiose wish of being equal with the U S. India will always be equated with Pakistan by the Yankees. Everyone knows that the Pakistanis neither aspire to be equal to the U S nor will they ever be. India will be same as Pakistan in the U S eyes---NEVER NEVER AN EQUAL!!!!!
