Like a novel where it is obvious from the outset that the two protagonists are meant for each other, but take hundreds of pages to get together…
That’s how the The Economist starts its article about the recent defence deal between India and the US. Whether you agree with the sentiment or not, don’t you agree that this sentence conveys that sentiment perfectly?

Hi,
did you just switch to feeds with excerpts instead of full articles? Please switch back!
Thanks,

I agree that the relationship is destined given that India is the largest democracy in the world (although Americans think US is) and the common heritage of English language, law and colonial history. It is a dance because we Americans are only now accepting the partnership and dare I say dependency our businesses have on Indian talent in IT and other jobs that Indians do–lets face it–better than Americans in many cases. I am here to thank Mr. Ravi for this weblog. I am using it to educate myself. I am ignorant with 3 academic degrees because I know so little about India. Please continue to inform me. I love this blog!
