When India Surrenders to Us Military Politics
SUMMARY
Modi's seventh visit to the US has been hailed by the eulogizing media as a 'new era of mutual trust', 'big deals for India' and 'a relationship that will define the 21st century'. Among the most touted agreements signed are General Electric Aerospace's F414 engine production, the sale of Predator MQ9B drones, and the easing of H1B visa procedures. Agreements were signed at the expense of even the foreign policy of 'strategic autonomy', which India had officially proclaimed after rejecting the accession policy. An English newspaper described the visit as a strategic development. However, it does not analyze which country's strategy has led to growth.
