India needs US more than the US needing India. The media has created such a grandoise illusion of India's achievements that we think of ourselves as a self sustaining organism. Most of our exports are still tied to the US and whatever trade we have with China or any other country for that matter, directly or indirectly ends in the US. So its good to generate readership by publishing such sensational headlines and stoke pseudo patriotism but the reality is very different.
