Somehow this myth that Indians in India have that India has become a developed country and doesn't need anyone's (especially US) help needs to be squashed. We are probably a good 75 years behind US or any other western country on all imaginable scales. World diplomacy is not about standing alone but to work with like minded partners who have shared interests. What shared interests or values do we have with Iran? Its an extremist country with ambition to build a nuclear bomb. That will make it one more islamic country with the N bomb in our neighborhood. That aint in India's interest at all.
