Well, so far the entire Islamic world has done nothing to India, except to split vast India in to Pakistan, Bangladesh & India in the name of religion. Atleast, let the Western world do something to India. India has never attacked any one in its history. India was a super power before the Invasion of foreign religious fanatics and imperialists.
Its time that India look for its own development and try to uplift the lives of its common citizens, rather than give too much importance to any other country. Of course, India will never suppress others for its develoment, what it will have to do is be focussed to achieve its own development rather than any other diversions.
In this sense, its perfect to gain US support to gain energy independence and especially OIL independence, since 50% if INDIA's imports are just oil imports of about 50Billion dollars. If India could reduce its dependence on foreign OIL by 50% in next 20 years, by way of nuclear power & other renewable sources and using solar energy, then it can be mostly be free from the dependence of foreign oil and save its FOREX. This foreign exchange can be used for infrastructure projects, which are essential to INDIA's development. Imagine even if INDIA reduces 20% in the next 5 years, it will save around $10 billion every year on import bill, that can be diverted to Infrastructure development. Also, OIL usage will increase global warming.
