The article, “ >In need of a new momentum ” (Sept. 27), was right in saying that “personal hurt” and “principled human rights position” should yield to pragmatism and ground realities as far as India-U.S. ties are concerned. India and the U.S. share common ground at the level of democratic ideologies, their economies and problems faced due to terrorism. In my view, the Prime Minister’s visit is more important in the context of its “pace” of decision-making in a “symbiotic relationship” rather than the decisions themselves.

The India-U.S. relationship has seen its troughs and peaks but has stabilised after the signing of the nuclear deal which has transformed visions. India and the U.S. can now engage in all the 5-T areas: Tourism, Trade, Technology, Tradition and Talent, as spelt out by the government of the day, and also the essence of “Brand India.” Both countries need to engage in not only matters pertaining to them but also in broader areas like tackling terrorism and climate change. This will lead to the relationship that is truly global and strategic.

The visit is a splendid opportunity for both nations to form a strong alliance. There are opportunities for cooperation that will also help the “Make in India” campaign.
