As a civil democracy and a secular legal state, the security infrastructure is derived from Constitutional provisions in the defence of civil law and the geography, people, heritage, property, interests etc defined by it. ABV, therefore called US, based on the same paradigm, as 'natural partners'. However, if when thanks to their internal laws, the security projection capability of India can be seriously compromised by decision-making per Indian volition, then the perspectives required for extending the commonality of paradigms to mutual safeguarding becomes ambiguous.
These are difficult choices to make for both nations and we can not afford analysis by 'Princeton Simpletons' here. India minds do have the civilisational depth to contend with these vexing issues and make just assessment.
