Miller Op-Ed Offers Projections of India-U.S. Partnership
Manjari Chatterjee Miller, currently a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and on leave from the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University where she is an Associate Professor of International Relations, published an article in Hindustan Times on foreign aid to India and the narratives surrounding it. This is the twelfth of Miller’s monthly columns in Hindustan Times.
In her article, titled “For Delhi, the India-US partnership remains the best bet,” Miller gauges the impact that the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan had on its great power status and perception abroad. While the departure was viewed by some as chaotic, Miller argues that it has not had as significant an impact internationally or domestically as, say, its departure from Vietnam.
Regarding India, Miller states that maintaining the relationship it has build with the U.S. is its best bet to tackle geopolitical concerns. She concludes by stating how the U.S. sees “a democratic India as its best bet for countering China’s influence in South Asia;” so long as the U.S. has a presence in South Asia, Miller says India would do well to maintain healthy ties with the U.S.
