Important Issues in
US India Relations
U.S.-India Partnership in an Asia-Pacific Century
Speaking at the University of Pune, India on "U.S.-India Partnership in an Asia-Pacific Century" on December 16, 2011, William J. Burns, Deputy Secretary of State, said: "[W]e are counting on India's rise as a global power – one that engages from the Middle East and East Asia to Africa and beyond. The Obama Administration has high hopes for the U.S.-India relationship, and we are working hard to ensure that our ambitions are matched by results. Today, I want to address what I hope will become a defining dimension of the U.S.-India partnership: our work together to support the emergence of an Asia-Pacific region defined by security, prosperity and human dignity for all its people."

President Obama's New National Security Policy
(May,
2010)
"The United States and India are building a strategic
partnership that is under- pinned by our shared interests, our shared
values as the world’s two largest democracies, and close connections
among our people. India’s responsible advancement serves as a positive
example for developing nations, and provides an opportunity for increased
economic, scientific, environmental, and security partnership. Working
together through our Strategic Dialogue and high-level visits, we seek
a broad-based relationship in which India contributes to global counterterrorism
efforts, nonproliferation, and helps promote poverty- reduction, education,
health, and sustainable agriculture. We value India’s growing leadership
on a wide array of global issues, through groups such as the G-20, and
will seek to work with India to promote stability in South Asia and elsewhere
in the world."

Most recent News on US-India Relations
We are at the crossroads of international partnerships. The Cold War
is a fading memory, and while military power remains important, political,
economic and cultural structures around the world are increasingly the
true foundations of cooperation.
In this regard, India and the United States could not be more alike.
Although in economic terms India is only now experiencing faster economic
growth, many of us are optimistic that this path will lead to the kind
of vibrant and responsive economic structures that now support American
markets. Alongside this economic parallel is the natural bond that flows
from being the planet's largest democracies.
What role can Indian Americans and friends of India play in ensuring
that these opportunities grow to their full potential?
We must be heard in the corridors of power, and for that to happen, we
must speak to those who would act on our thoughts. Every representative
in Congress must be made aware that funding support as well as support
at the voting booths is at least partly contingent on the voting records
of congressmen and women in matters relating to US-India relations.
On these pages, US-India Friendship will help make your voices for strong
Us-India relations heard with purpose and conviction. We hope that you
will use the links and the information we provide to participate with
vigor. Together, we will fulfill both the promise and the obligation of
our free societies.

Indian Population Explodes in the U.S.: 2000-2008
According to Washington-based think tank, Migration Policy Institute,
the United States is home to about 2.3 million Indian origin people (including
those born in the U.S.). Indians are the third-largest immigrant group
after Mexicans and Filipinos.
Between 2007 and 2008, the number of Indian immigrants surpassed the
number of Chinese and Hong Kong-born immigrants for the first time since
at least 1960, said the Migration Policy Institute in its latest report.
