In the most optimistic view, the visit confirmed an increasingly broad economic, technology, and defense relationship between India and Washington, albeit at the expense of an absence of human rights discussion. In the most pessimistic, India and Washington continue the same awkward dance that they have performed since 1947, potentially adding another layer of disappointment to relations between the world’s two largest democracies.
That all depends on India remaining a democracy, and of late I’ve heard from knowledgeable folks who are more concerned about the state of the Indian body politic than at any time since the 1970s.
