Answer:
The United States and India have shared interests in promoting global security, stability, and economic prosperity through trade, investment, and connectivity.
Answer:
The relation between India and the US failed to achieve their full potential. This was due to the preoccupation of the United States with the 'containment of communism' which started the Cold War between the US and the Soviet union. The newly independent India, led by our first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru refused to be drawn into the Cold War politics of competitive military alliance promoted by both super power. Nehru chose the policy of 'non alignment' which aimed to give India the much-needed independence of action in this sphere of foreign policy and relations. America regarded India's refusal to collaborate as a sign of unfriendliness.
