and the reason we do not have a good relationship with america today is not because of america who would have loved to have us as an ally - it is because of nehru's idiotic policies like non-alignment and pro-soviet inclinations. america is the most powerful country in the world and for the first 40 years after independence we did everything to antogonize her (though enjoying her largesse in many spheres) and instead supported countries like china who only stabbed us in the back. sure, little doubt that america has its faults - but her strengths/good far exceed it.
