from Sylhet, bangladesh ------- India is the most important country in South Asia for geo-political strategies. It is probably the only country in the world who enjoyed three umbrellas namely US Bloc, Soviet Bloc and the Non-Aligned Movement. The USSR was the major economic, political and military partner during the cold war days. The US also contributed to India indirectly, sometimes directly. Remember the Sino-Indian War of 1962. China had to retreat because of US threat. Now the Indo-US collaboration on strategic issues will gather momentum. In Asia, US needs India most and at any cost so that a power could rise in this region to counter China. The two countries will eliminate all the 'sundry' differences that have appeared over the last few months. They have already agreed on the line of 'principle'.
