MSUBRAMANIAM , When make agreemets it is not going to be one sided. US didnt bend some rules in favor of India. It is better to be friends with a free democratic nation than going with some non trasperent countries like Russia. Communist parties want China as our partner.That is the bottom line. China already attacked us in 1962. As a Indian I cant forget that. And they took Tibet now they are looking into Nepal and Burma. They are eyeing Taiwan too. US is the right choice.
