Wrong assumptions. US is under pressure because it is the only one that took on the Islamic jihadists while the rest of the world with Indian being at the forefront cowed down. The US is not going away, simply because no nation has the entrepreneurial ability of the US. No one can reinvent itself like US because nothing comes to you free here. No dole, no freebies..plus it has got great institutions to back its spirit. Association with the $14 trillion economy (nearly 30% of the world) is the only way for a developing country like India to benefit.
