🧵 Ahead of Indian PM Modi's state visit to the US, here are some slides on US-India ties.

Certain things become apparent
- ties go back to 1947 (or before) but, in some ways, cooperation is quite new, w/ a reset in 1999-2000
- it's a multi-domain mutually beneficial rel. 1/ Image
2/ 25 yrs ago, there were US sanctions on India.

Since then, the US & India have developed a range of bilateral dialogues at various levels & on various issues. They have also now formed groupings like the Quad & I2U2 Image
3/ The Quad (Australia, India, Japan, US) itself has a whole range of working groups and initiatives.

It, too, is fairly new -- only being revived in 2017 & elevated to the leader level in 2021. Image

🧵 Some quick thoughts. On US investment in India’s utility, I think it depends on:

1. your expectations from it
2. if you think Taiwan contingency reax is only metric

On 1: I don’t think Biden admin expects India to engage in collective defence or defend liberal int’l order
1/
2/ Re collective defence, about a month ago, NSC Coordinator for the Indo-Pacific Kurt Campbell said,

“India is not an ally of the United States, and will never be an ally of the United States. But it does not mean that we will not be close partners and share many things.”
3/ In Oct. 2020, then Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun stated that the US was well aware of India’s emphasis on strategic autonomy, and the US did not seek an alliance with India. Image

🧵 a question readers have asked is, wld India-China rels return to normal if Xi thought strategically & agreed to return to status quo ante at the border.

Short answer: I still don't believe 🇨🇳🇮🇳 ties can return to the track they were on in 2019, let alone 2003-

Here's why
1/
2/ Another version of ques is, will Modi seek/strike a deal with China?

Lil' doubt Modi wld like a stable border. Wld enable him to
- focus on econ
- buy time to enhance mil capabilities, border infra
- host successful G20 next year
- avoid border becoming 2024 re-election issue
3/ First, I think such a border deal unlikely. Wld require (as defined by GOI):
(a) disengagement at all friction points
(b) de-escalation

Even if (a) happened, unlikely China wld agree to (b), i.e. troop reduction & esp dismantling mil/other infra. So, India wldnt do it either

Readout of Indian PM Modi's call with Ukraine's President Zelenskyy

[Ukrainian PM after a mtg w Indian EAM Jaishankar had said "We count on India's support in providing grain corridors & demilitarization of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station"]
pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…
2/ Don't know what it's signaling, but the reference to the Nov. 2021 meeting is interesting.
3/ Even at the time, the Nov 2021 Modi-Zelenskyy meeting had been noteworthy (so was Modi's reported promise to visit Ukraine):

Putin to Modi: "I know about your position on the conflict in Ukraine and I know about your concerns. I know that you share these concerns and we want all of this to end as soon as possible..." 1/
2/ Modi, who skipped his usual initial hug, to Putin:

"Today's era is not one of war, and I’ve talked to you about this on the phone several times…in the coming days, how we move towards the path of peace – we will definitely have an opportunity to discuss this."

[my transl.]
3/ In his initial remarks Modi also noted key concerns for developing countries – food security, fuel security, fertilizer supply problems -- saying, “we’ll have to find solutions and you will also have to take the initiative”
