India-United States Relations
India–United States relations (or Indo-American relations) refers to the international relations that exist between the Republic of India and the United States of America.
Despite being one of the pioneers and founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement of 1961, India developed a closer relationship with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. During that period, India's relatively cooperative strategic and military relations with Moscow and strong socialist policies had a distinctly adverse impact on its relations with the United States. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, India began to review its foreign policy in an unipolar world, and took steps to develop closer ties with the European Union and the United States, in furtherance of its national interests. Today, India and the US share an extensive cultural, strategic, military, and economic relationship.

Famous quotes containing the words states and/or relations:
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Think of the many different relations of form and content. E.g., the many pairs of trousers and what’s in them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
