ABSTRACT

Over the last couple of years, the relations betweenthe US and India have witnessed a number of significant developments. Perhaps, the most remarkable among these are the Next Steps in Strategic Partnership (NSSP) of2004 and the civilian nuclear agreement of2006. The end of the Cold War, the post 9/11 developments, the rise of Asian powers, and the convergence of mutual interests have brought a great opportunity for both the countries to strengthen their bilateralrelations. The new relationship will help accelerateIndia’s rise as a major power inthe regional and global arena. Thus, the new Indo-US ‘strategic partnership’ introduces a new dimension in South Asia. It is in this backdrop, the main thrust of the paperwill be to examine the major areas of Indo-US cooperation. It will also discuss the regional and extra-regional implications of Indo-US strategic partnership for the South Asian countries.
